NHL DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday, December 14
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
TastefulTides: Auston Matthews – The Maple Leafs are the only total above 4 tonight, and frankly, I am not surprised by that. After going through a stretch where he had 1 goal in 9 games, he has now had 7 goals in his last 4 games. The Blue Jackets are the 2nd-worst team in the NHL and have allowed the 4th-most goals this season. Matthews playing on home ice against this team should be a recipe for a big fantasy output.
ezellmt: Auston Matthews – Right now, Matthews’ projection is three points higher than the next closest skater thanks to a juicy matchup against the Blue Jackets at home. He’s coming off a monster four-point night on Tuesday, where he finished with 36 DK points. While it seems unlikely he’ll match that level of production, another multi-point night is very much in play. He’ll be chalky, but fade at your own risk.
boggslite: Auston Matthews – Fresh off a 4-point effort against a strong Rangers team in his last game, Matthews has 5 goals over his last 3 games. He should get plenty of opportunities to stay hot tonight facing the lowly Blue Jackets on home ice.
