NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Friday, April 26
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
Notorious: Pascal Siakam
squirrelpatrol: Pascal Siakam
Who is your top contrarian play (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?
Notorious: T.J. McConnell – I’m calling it now. This is the slate where McConnell wins someone a GPP (hopefully me or one of you wonderful RG members reading this). He’s been awfully quiet in the first 2 games of the series, which has led to a cheaper price point and lower projected ownership. If we zoom out a little, we can see that he has scored at least 29 fantasy points in 5 of his last 7 games. The series is headed to Indiana, so perhaps some home cooking can get him going again. During the regular season, he averaged 23 fantasy points per game at home.
squirrelpatrol: Damian Lillard – Dame has put up 34.5 ppg this series through two games, and now Khris Middleton is playing through a sprained ankle. Lower-priced Milwaukee players are showing high ownership, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see Lillard continue taking up the bulk of the offense and providing a leverage point on this slate.
