NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Tuesday, December 12
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: Even though there is only one basketball to go around, the big three for the Clippers have all managed to be productive in DFS. Here are their usage rates and fantasy points per game over the last 4 outings:
- Kawhi Leonard: 25% usage, 47.6 fantasy points
- Paul George: 22% usage, 43.4 fantasy points
- James Harden: 22%, 42.7 fantasy points
squirrelpatrol: With 10 teams on the slate, 7 have implied team totals between 115 and 119, with Cleveland being the only outlier down at 106.75. Before we get more clarity on injury news, there’s not much separating most of these teams.
headChopper: Over the last 6 games, Kawhi Leonard has averaged 47.2 DK / 46.9 FD points per game. James Harden has averaged 42.7 DK / 42 FD. The Clippers are 5-1 in that span. It feels like they are starting to figure out how to play together.
Stevietpfl: With Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving off the floor, Jaden Hardy has a 32.1% usage rate and has averaged 1.48 fantasy points per minute. Tim Hardaway has a 42.3% usage rate and has averaged 1.64 fantasy points per minute. Irving has been ruled out, and Luka is questionable after playing 44 minutes last night. This is the biggest injury news to watch today.
TheLuuch: The Mavericks played at the 3rd-slowest pace last season but rank 8th this season. This makes the Lakers players much more appealing tonight. The previous matchup between these two teams earlier this season was disappointing, but both teams were pretty inefficient from the floor.
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
