NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday, December 7
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: Khris Middleton still isn’t playing a full allotment of minutes, but we are getting closer. He was on pace for 29 minutes the other night before the starters were pulled due to a blowout. He has now topped 26 minutes in 3 of his last 6 games.
squirrelpatrol: The IND/MIL game has a 256.5 total, which is the highest I can ever remember seeing. The Bucks are favored by 5 points, giving them an implied team total over 230 points, which is also the highest I can remember seeing.
headChopper: Huge total in the IND/MIL game of 257+. Buckle up. Indiana’s average implied team total this season is slightly over 238, while Milwaukee’s is almost 234. Indiana has hit the over in 16 of 19 games this season (84%), and Milwaukee is 14-7 to the over (67%).
TheLuuch: I noted on Tuesday’s Expert Survey that Giannis Antetokounmpo has become much more involved defensively, and he picked up 3 more steals in that game. He’s now recorded at least 3 total steals/blocks in each of his last 6 games. Those extra fantasy points matter.
tcsmith031: Tyrese Haliburton has been just as productive per minute (1.62) as Giannis Antetokounmpo (1.63) this season, yet we’re still getting a bit of a discount on Hali on both sites. Not only is Haliburton leading the Pacers in usage (27.3%), but his ridiculous 45.8% assist rate is also the highest in the league.
