NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Tuesday, November 14
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: You can’t ask for a much better spot for the Blazers when it comes to DFS. They are without Anfernee Simons, Scoot Henderson, Malcolm Brogdon, and Robert Williams. Additionally, they are facing a Jazz team that is 5th in pace and 28th in defensive rating.
squirrelpatrol: Stephen Curry (32.1%) and LeBron James (29.2%) both rank in the top 20 for usage rate among qualified players this season; they’re both listed as questionable in the set of games starting at 10 PM ET and later.
headChopper: In the 7 games with Jamal Murray this season, Michael Porter has averaged 31.6 DK / 30.6 FD points per game. In the 3 games Murray has missed, Porter’s numbers increase to 38.4 DK / 36.6 FD points per game.
tcsmith031: Nicolas Batum is averaging nearly 26 minutes per game with the Sixers, including a 33-minute outing over the weekend with Kelly Oubre out. The absences of both Batum and Oubre tonight open up plenty of playing time for Robert Covington, who we have projected to start and log 28 minutes. As of now, RoCo looks like the free square value of the slate with a salary near the minimum on both sites.
TheLuuch: Last season with Trae Young off the court, Saddiq Bey received a 3.5% usage bump and averaged 0.92 FanDuel points per minute. Not too shabby for his salary. He should have an enhanced role tonight with more minutes in a revenge spot against his former team.
