NHL DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for Saturday, April 4
Who is your favorite skater to spend up for in cash games?
Moneyball16: Macklin Celebrini
TastefulTides: Macklin Celebrini
Hunter4ever89: Macklin Celebrini
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?
Moneyball16: Large-field GPPs – This is a natural slate to go for mid-priced lineups. The 3 best teams to target are probably Utah, Los Angeles, and Seattle. They are all facing teams eliminated from the playoffs, and they are not priced up enough considering their matchups. The most expensive skater among them is Artemi Panarin at $7,200.
TastefulTides: Single entry is my preferred format. Utah is my favorite team to stack, but I do think they will be very popular. That concerns me a little bit given how big the slate is. My first pivots will be to the Kraken and the Kings. The Kings will be playing their top 6 heavy minutes, and I love the matchup against Toronto.
Hunter4ever89: Large-field tournaments are my preferred format today. We are missing many of the superstars on tonight’s slate, and UTA is coming in underpriced given the matchup against VAN. VAN is back home, but they are still the worst team in the league and playing their third game in four nights. UTA will be very popular, but I want to try to find a way to play pieces of them in every lineup. We also need to pay attention to teams that are pushing for playoff spots. UTA, SJ, NSH, CBJ, NYI, and LAK are all teams that need wins and are targets of mine tonight. I want to take an underweight stance on teams like CAR. Despite the great matchup, they seem to be cutting back on minutes for their top players, as their playoff position is basically locked up.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
