NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, November 18
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: tcsmith031: Brandon Ingram gets a hefty 5.3% usage boost with both Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum off the floor. Value pieces like Jordan Hawkins and Naji Marshall will also enter the conversation now that we know the Pels are down a couple of starters against the Wolves.
krayton: Brook Lopez is now 2nd overall in the NBA in blocks per game (2.9). We also have Rudy Gobert, Chet Holmgren, and Victor Wembanyama checking in right behind him, and all four players are on the slate tonight. Lopez did get 13 blocks in his last 2 games alone, so the upside is there, and he is still at a value on both sites at under $6,000.
TastefulTides: The Bucks Mavericks game has the highest total on the slate by around 15 points. Both of these teams are top ten in pace and bottom ten in defensive rating. Luka is currently under 10% owned on both of the major sites.
TJ Zwarych: Jacob Gilyard has been paying off his price tag since he was inserted in the starting lineup. Now, the Grizzlies are also without Marcus Smart, so he should get a significant minute increase while still at a very cheap salary. I’ll have 100% Gilyard tonight as I’ll be massively overweight on the entire Grizzlies team.
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
