NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Tuesday, December 26
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: Almost all of the best matchups in the NBA are on the schedule tonight. We have five teams that are projected to score at least 7 points more than their season average — Bulls (+7.5), Spurs (+8.4), Rockets (+8.9), Jazz (+9.5), and Magic (+9.7).
squirrelpatrol: This is a very different slate between FanDuel and DraftKings in terms of games, with Fanduel cutting off the last two games of the night (Sacramento at Portland and Charlotte at the Clippers). The biggest injury questions are present on both sites though with Trae Young, Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Vucevic, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Jalen Williams all Questionable in the 8PM ET games.
headChopper: Bruce Brown has been ruled out tonight. He didn’t play in the last game either. In that game, against Orlando, Buddy Hield got 38 minutes. Andrew Nembhard played 36 minutes. It was a season-high for Hield, who had exceeded 32 minutes only 1 time this season before that game. Nembhard had never played more than 25 minutes in a game this season before that Orlando game.
Stevietpfl: In the three games with Morant on the floor, Bane has a 31.1% usage rate and he’s averaging 29.1 points per game. New Orleans allows the third most three-pointers per game this season, and this is a sneaky good spot.
TheLuuch: Utah currently has the highest projected team total on the slate, but RotoGrinders pOWN% has every player on the roster checking in at less than 10%.
