NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, October 28
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: Kevin Durant has a 44.7% usage rate in the minutes he’s played without Booker and Beal so far this season. It’s a relatively limited sample, but he’s also averaging 38 minutes per game. He feels about as safe as it gets in his current role.
krayton: In Minnesota’s first game of the season, Anthony Edwards took control of their offense, as he had 14 rebounds along with 27 shot attempts, giving him a 32% usage rate. He will continue to get huge minutes on a nightly basis, making him one of my favorite tournament plays.
TastefulTides: On this seven-game slate, there isn’t a spread greater than 5.5 points. The oddsmakers aren’t forecasting blowouts on this slate. That makes me more likely to try and go heavier on game stacks, especially on a slate that isn’t that big.
TJ Zwarych: The Pacers were one of the fastest teams in the league last season after acquiring Tyrese Haliburton, and they played at a blistering pace in the preseason as well. This carried into their first game of the season, which totaled 263 points.
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
