NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday, November 16
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: The Nets have a difficult matchup and don’t project particularly well, but they could be a solid team to target in tournaments. Here are the per-minute numbers of their key players with Ben Simmons and Cam Thomas off the floor this season: Spencer Dinwiddie (1.11 DK / 1.06 FD), Mikal Bridges (1.08 DK / 1.05 FD), and Nicolas Claxton (1.03 DK / 1.12 FD).
squirrelpatrol: With Stephen Curry and Draymond Green off the court this season, the Warriors’ top two players in DK points per minute are Dario Saric (1.3 DK in 150 minutes) and Brandin Podziemski (1.2 DK in 80 minutes).
headChopper: On both sites, there are only two players priced over $8,600, and out of the top 40 projected players, there are 31 players on DK and 32 players on FD that are priced LESS than the average cost of a roster spot on each respective site.
TheLuuch: Obviously, things are different now, but with Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jordan Poole off of the court last season, Klay Thompson led the Warriors’ regulars with a 32% usage rate.
tcsmith031: With Tyler Herro off the floor this season, Bam Adebayo ranks 2nd on the Heat in both usage and assist rate, while he leads the team in rebound rate. He’s also a consistent source of blocks and steals on the defensive end of the floor. Even at these premium salaries, Bam grades out as one of the best plays at any position.
