NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, March 23
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: Jalen Green was looking like a bust just a few weeks ago, but he’s turned it around of late. With Alperen Sengun and Cam Whitmore off the floor, Green is sporting a team-best 34.8% usage rate alongside a tidy 1.27 DK FP/minute rate. His hot shooting run could come to an end at any point, though I’d say that’s unlikely to happen tonight in an elite matchup against a porous Utah defense.
Krayton: Victor Wembanyama is now up to an elite 1.70 FP/minute and has been seeing between 32-36 minutes in each of his last four games. He is a phenomenal tournament play every night he is on the slate.
TastefulTides: With Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday, and Kristaps Porzingis off the court Derrick White has had the biggest usage increase. CourtIQ has White at 30.95% with those players out, which is 11.8% higher than his season average. We also have Jayson Tatum and Al Horford questionable, so that would only make Derrick White even more of a standout play.
TJ Zwarych: Payton Pritchard has the safest role with the Celtics, playing big minutes regardless of whether the game stays close. He’s reached at least 30 DK points in 4 straight games.
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
