NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, January 28
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: The Raptors’ defensive rating has cratered to 121.8 so far in January, which is one of the worst marks in the NBA. With all of the Toronto value opening up, it makes plenty of sense to run it back with at least a couple of Hawks in GPP game stacks.
Krayton: Trae Young ranks 2nd in the league in assists per game (10.8) and is one of only two players that is averaging double-digit assists. Toronto is no longer a defensive matchup to fear, as they are now without Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby.
TastefulTides: The Toronto Raptors rank 20th in defensive rating this season. However, in the last 15 games since trading OG Anunoby to the Knicks, the Raptors rank 29th in defensive rating. This will be a team to stream against now that they are without both OG and Pascal Siakam.
TJ Zwarych: The Raptors will be without RJ Barrett (doubtful) and Immanuel Quickley, leaving them severely undermanned. I’ll have at least 4 Raptors in every lineup on both sites.
