NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, April 7
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: Klay Thompson (+3.8%), Jonathan Kuminga (+3.8%), and Andrew Wiggins (+1.7%) have all seen nice usage bumps with Stephen Curry off the floor. Chris Paul, who should start at the point, is contributing a steady 1.07 FP/minute with Steph on the bench.
Krayton: Even though Victor Wembanyama is averaging 29.3 minutes per game while players like Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis, and Domantas Sabonis are averaging between 34-35 minutes per game, he is still top 4 in fantasy points per game (49.5) and top 3 in usage (31%) among players on this slate.
TastefulTides: The Utah Jazz have the worst defensive rating in the NBA. They also rank 10th in pace. The Warriors will be without Stephen Curry, who is a massive usage hog. In 703 minutes without Curry on the court, the usage for Klay Thompson increased 4.1%, bringing his overall usage to 28.37%, which leads the team.
TJ Zwarych: Despite it being a massive slate, only the Warriors, Raptors, Heat, and 76ers have implied team totals higher than their season average. The Raptors and Warriors are heavily undermanned and look like two of the best spots to target.
