NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, January 21

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

tcsmith031: The Pacers are yielding the most points in the paint per game in the league on the season. The Wizards are allowing the 2nd most. The Nuggets are going to be quite chalky against those woeful Wizards, but the Suns aren’t projected to be very popular despite an elite matchup versus Indiana.

Krayton: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is in the top 10 overall for steals this year, checking in at number 8 and averaging 1.4 per game. He checks in as one of our top value plays and has additional upside tonight in a fast-paced game against the Wizards.

TastefulTides: The Nuggets play at the second-slowest pace in the NBA. The Wizards play at the second-fastest pace in the NBA. The Nuggets’ implied team total is 10 points over their season average.

TJ Zwarych: The Suns and Nuggets are in big pace-up spots, and both have implied team totals around 10 points higher than their season average. I’ll have at least one player from each of these teams in every lineup.

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

Robert Brown (Epignosis)

Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. 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. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
