NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, December 30
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: Tyrese Maxey, De’Anthony Melton, and Tobias Harris have all seen at least 4% usage boosts with Joel Embiid off the floor so far this season. All three players are more expensive than they were earlier in the week, yet they’re still popping as strong point-per-dollar plays in big-minute roles.
Krayton: Donte DiVincenzo actually has a 7% usage bump with RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley off the floor. The Knicks are in one of the best spots all year with the recent trade of Barrett and Quickley to the Raptors.
TastefulTides: Removing RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Jericho Sims, and Mitchell Robinson off the court, Julius Randle sees a 5% increase in usage. With those same players off the court, Jalen Brunson sees a +14 DK-point differential, which leads all Knicks players that play meaningful minutes.
TJ Zwarych: With OG Anunoby not being in New York yet, the Knicks will be heavily undermanned without RJ Barrett or Immanuel Quickley. That’s nearly 60 minutes removed from their rotation, which should go directly to Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and Quentin Grimes.
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
