NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, January 14
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: Devin Booker (28.6%) leads the Suns in usage in the minutes he’s played alongside Bradley Beal. Beal’s 25.2% usage rate is higher than I expected to see coming into the season, and he’s affected Kevin Durant the most. KD’s usage is down by nearly 5% across the 231 minutes he’s played next to Beal this season.
Krayton: Even though De’Aaron Fox has been struggling, he is still carrying a 31.6% usage rate, which is 7% higher than Domantas Sabonis (23.5%). His price is now below $9,000 on both sites, making him a nice play tonight.
TastefulTides: Damian Lillard has a 27.29% usage rate, and he has to share the court with Giannis Antetokounmpo and his 33.7% usage rate. When adjusted for salaries, I consider Dame the better fantasy asset on this slate. In 1,200 minutes this season, Dame is averaging 1.23 DK points per minute.
TJ Zwarych: The Bucks and Kings both have implied team totals higher than their season average, and their game features a total 14 points higher than any other on the slate.
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
