NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, December 16
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: Luka Doncic is playing a ton with Kyrie Irving out. He’s logged at least 39 minutes in each of the last 4 games, including 40-plus minutes in 3 of those outings. Kyrie is out again tonight, as the Mavs draw an exploitable matchup versus the Blazers in Portland.
Krayton: Max Strus sees a 7.3% usage increase with both Darius Garland and Evan Mobley off the court. He is priced under $6,000 on FanDuel, making him a nice tournament play tonight.
TastefulTides: The Cavaliers are short handed, losing both Garland and Mobley for several weeks. That will open up minutes against the Hawks, who play at the 3rd-fastest pace and have the league’s 4th-worst defensive rating.
TJ Zwarych: Not only are the Cavaliers without multiple important players like Evan Mobley and Darius Garland, but their implied total is more than 10 points higher than their season average tonight against the Hawks.
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
