NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday, February 26
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
Notorious: Jalen Brunson – Domantas Sabonis has been a triple-double machine, Tyrese Haliburton has a nice matchup at home, and Scottie Barnes can fill up the stat sheet, but Brunson is my favorite spend on the slate. He has been so consistent with OG Anunoby and Julius Randle out of the lineup, topping 40 fantasy points in 11 of his last 12 games. The Pistons are one of the best possible matchups, as they are ranked 7th in pace and 30th in defensive rating this season. Brunson offers a high floor/ceiling combination, and he’s priced under $10,000 on both FanDuel and DraftKings.
squirrelpatrol: Bam Adebayo – Bam is the last man standing from Miami’s top three scorers with both Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro out. Tonight, the Heat face a Sacramento team that ranks 6th in the NBA in pace over their past 10 games. This game has the 2nd-highest total on the night, and Bam is averaging 21.3 points and 11.5 rebounds over his past 4 games.
eys819: Bam Adebayo – He should be the focal point for the shorthanded Heat and will have the ball in his hands even more than usual. There is legitimate triple-double upside here if the Heat can keep this one close. It is a plus matchup for Bam and company, as the Kings play at the 11th-fastest pace and rank just 19th in defensive rating.
TastefulTides: Domantas Sabonis – He continues to rack up the triple-doubles, and his price just doesn’t seem to budge, especially on DK. The Heat are a good defensive team, but they will be playing extremely shorthanded tonight. The matchup for Sabonis against Bam Adebayo is not the best on paper, but I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt due to his tremendous offensive skills.
