NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday, November 13
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: The Raptors look like the team to load up on. They are playing at home against the WIzards, who are 1st in pace and bottom 5 in rebound rate, points allowed per game, and defensive rating. Toronto’s team total is 11.6 points higher than their season average, and there’s a chance they could be without Gary Trent and/or OG Anunoby.
meansy53: 59% of Domantas Sabonis’ field-goal attempts come within 5 feet of the basket. The Cleveland Cavaliers have allowed the 4th-lowest FG% (57.8%) in the league on shots less than 5 feet away from the basket.
tcsmith031: Donovan Mitchell has taken his game to another level this season. He’s averaging a career-best 1.4 DK points per minute on still-elite 32.4% usage, and he’s routinely pushing for 35-40 minutes in competitive games. In related news, CLE/SAC has the tightest spread on the slate.
TastefulTides: The Washington Wizards are bottom 5 in defensive rating and play at the fastest pace in the NBA. This is a huge pace-up spot for the Raptors, and they should be given heavy consideration when attacking this slate.
Bobby Gomes: The Wizards are allowing the 2nd-most points per game (123.8) in the league this season and getting crushed on the glass. They play at the fastest pace in the league, but the Raptors play at the 28th fastest. The 229 total is the highest on the slate. It is just a matter of the game staying close so that we aren’t dealing with the blowout factor.
