NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, April 27
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: Darius Garland has only averaged 0.79 DK FP/minute through the first 3 games of this series, while his usage rate is 5% lower than it was during the regular season. Garland has produced better than a fantasy point per minute over the past several seasons, so I’m not overly concerned about his struggles early in this series.
eys819: Wendell Carter played fewer than 20 minutes off the bench in each of the first two games of the series. In Game 3, he joined the starting lineup in place of Jonathan Isaac and played nearly 25 minutes. He did not play in the 4th quarter at all, presumably because the Magic had the game well in hand already. There is upside for WCJ to play 30+ minutes if he is in the starting lineup again.
kmurray03: Coming into this series, I wasn’t so sure this would be a great matchup for Jarrett Allen, as the Magic are a tough matchup for rebounders, but Allen has proven he can still flourish. In this series, Allen leads all Cavaliers, as he is averaging 1.32 fantasy points per minute. Pairing that strong per-minute production with his upside to play 36-38+ minutes makes Allen an intriguing option for me.
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
