NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, November 4

Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?

tcsmith031: Small sample, but Malik Monk has enjoyed a massive 9% usage boost with De’Aaron Fox off the floor this season, while Domantas Sabonis (1.6 FP/min) does a little bit of everything for this offense. CHA / IND will get a lot of attention, but SAC / HOU is another game with legitimate shootout potential.

krayton: With both Charlotte and Indiana in the top five for pace, this is a game I will be focusing on stacking. In a small sample size to start the season, LaMelo Ball (28.8%) and Terry Rozier (26.89%) are leading the team in usage. On the Pacers side, Tyrese Haliburton is leading the NBA in assists at 12.5 per game. Last night, we saw the MEM / POR game go to OT, and a game stack helped win tournaments. I like going back to a similar strategy tonight.

TastefulTides: I know it’s early in the season, but Charlotte and Indiana are playing at the 2nd- and 4th-fastest paces in the league. They are also bottom 6 in defensive rating. This is going to be a high-paced affair with plenty of fantasy points to go around for both sides.

TJ Zwarych: CHA / IND, ATL / NO, and SAC / HOU all stand out as fast-paced games with close spreads and very little defense. While the Hornets and Pacers are my priorities, I want to get different variations of stacks from these games.

Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS.
