NBA DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, May 18
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: PJ Washington is contributing a healthy 1.04 DK FP/minute so far in this series. That’s up considerably from the 0.82 FPPM rate he posted in a Mavericks uniform during the regular season.
eys819: The Thunder finally made a change to their starting lineup in Game 5, inserting Isaiah Joe ahead of Josh Giddey. The results were not great, as they lost by double digits. It would not be a surprise to see them give someone like Cason Wallace or Aaron Wiggins a shot with the starting 5 for Game 6.
kmurray03: Daniel Gafford has quietly found himself a nice role in this DAL playoff offense, as he has a usage rate up over 18%. That is pretty impressive considering he finds himself competing with both PJ Washington and Kyrie Irving for shot attempts at that rate, and he gives himself upside for double-digit shot attempts.
What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
