NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, February 25

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

Notorious: This is one of those slates where all of the puzzle pieces seem to fit together perfectly. There are obvious values on the Pelicans (Jose Alvarado) and Jazz (Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks), there are superstars that are underpriced on FanDuel (Lauri Markkanen) and DraftKings (Victor Wembanyama), and Dejounte Murray always seems to excel when Trae Young is out. I’m not overthinking this slate.

Krayton: Victor Wembanyama has now gone back-to-back games against the Lakers and the Kings with 5 blocks and 5 steals. He has also gone over 70 fantasy points in 2 out of the last 4 games.

TastefulTides: The Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs are both in the bottom 10 in defensive rating, and both are in the top 10 in offensive pace. As should be expected, the game has the highest over/under on the slate.

TJ Zwarych: Jose Alvarado has been a useful value play over the past week even with CJ McCollum in the lineup. Now McCollum is out, and Alvarado is projected to play 30+ minutes. I’m not going to overthink the chalk; I’ll have him in 100% of my lineups.

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

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.
