NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, February 10
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: Andre Drummond has cracked 30 minutes in back-to-back games, and that includes significant overlap with Nikola Vucevic. We’re not getting a huge discount on Drummond at this point, but he still stands out as a terrific tournament play if he suddenly has a path to increased playing time given his elite per-minute production (1.39).
Krayton: Trae Young has a 30% usage rate in the Hawks offense, and if Dejounte Murray is out again, Trae sees a 3.1% usage bump. Trae will be a core GPP play for me regardless if Murray is in or not, and the best part is getting him at very low projected ownership in one of the best game environments on the slate.
TastefulTides: This slate is void of the blue-chip, high-end studs (e.g. Jokic, Embiid, Giannis, Luka). We don’t even have players like Jayson Tatum or Domantas Sabonis. Kevin Durant is the most expensive player on this slate, and I don’t consider him a strong option assuming both Bradley Beal and Devin Booker play. This slate will be won and lost in the $8,000-$9,000 range.
TJ Zwarych: Despite it being a big slate, only the 76ers, Hawks, and Suns have an implied total higher than 120 points. If Dejounte Murray is in, two of these teams are near full strength, while Philadelphia would have the strongest value on the slate.
