NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Tuesday, January 30
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
Notorious: Jalen Brunson
squirrelpatrol: Nikola Vucevic
headChopper: Scottie Barnes
Stevietpfl: Jayson Tatum
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: For a 5-game slate, we have a ton of value. Julius Randle and Anthony Davis have both been ruled out, and there’s a chance we see OG Anunoby and LeBron James out as well. Ownership seems to be concentrating on a few values in particular, so don’t be afraid to be a little different. Players like Jarred Vanderbilt, Rui Hachimura, and Quentin Grimes are flying under the radar.
squirrelpatrol: Over every team’s last 8 games, the Toronto Raptors have given up the most rebounds to opponents (even more than the Wizards!) and the most points in the paint to opponents.
headChopper: In the first missed game of the season for Julius Randle on Monday, Donte DiVincenzo played 42 minutes in a game the Knicks had a 23-point lead after 3 quarters. His usage rate was over 29%.
Stevietpfl: Since January 1st, Scottie Barnes and Dennis Schroder have seen the biggest increases with Immanuel Quickley, Pascal Siakam, and RJ Barrett off the floor. Schroder has a 6.6% usage increase and is averaging 1.17 fantasy points per minute. Barnes has a 5.8% usage increase and is averaging 1.32 fantasy points per minute.
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
