NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday, November 30
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: The Wolves entire starting unit should see a nice uptick with Anthony Edwards expected to miss this game, but the real winner here is Karl-Anthony Towns. He has averaged 1.43 DK / 1.41 FD points per minute with Edwards off the floor this season.
squirrelpatrol: Six of the seven worst teams in the NBA in scoring defense are on the slate, with two of them (Atlanta and San Antonio) playing each other. I’ll have interest in all of their opponents, with some extra consideration for teams with injury situations (Miami and Minnesota).
TheLuuch: Atlanta currently has a massive 127.5 implied team total. With all of the attention on Minnesota value, the Hawks might go overlooked. Jalen Johnson is out, which isn’t flipping the entire slate. But Trae Young still gets a 3% usage bump without him, and De’Andre Hunter scores a few more DraftKings points per 36 minutes. I will have many Hawks in my player pool tonight.
tcsmith031: The Hawks and Spurs rank 2nd and 3rd in the league, respectively, in pace. They’re also 25th and 26th in defensive efficiency. In related news, this matchup has the highest total on the board (247) by a 7.5-point margin over the next-closest game.
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
