NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, March 17
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: Across a 150-minute sample, Jordan Poole is boasting a 38.5% usage rate alongside a 1.46 DK FP/minute rate this season with Kyle Kuzma, Deni Avdija, and Tyus Jones off the floor. Poole may be thrust into a massive offensive role tonight with the Wizards dealing with injuries once again.
Krayton: Tyus Jones is out for the Wizards once again, and Kyle Kuzma is questionable. If Kuzma does sit out, we would see Jordan Poole’s usage bump shoot to 9.6%. If Deni Avdija is also out, Poole’s usage jumps to 11.9%. Washington could provide a great source of value tonight.
TastefulTides: According to CourtIQ, in a 438-minute sample with Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis off the court, Jayson Tatum has seen the biggest usage differential (bringing his usage rate just shy of 37%). Payton Pritchard has the largest sample size. In 607 minutes, Pritchard’s usage rate increases by 3.8%.
TJ Zwarych: Six Celtics players have positive RG values on tonight’s slate, with 4 players of at least a 49% optimal lineup rate on both FanDuel and DraftKings.
