When it comes to NBA, we have tons of advanced stats, tools and information to dive into. This article will present you with five actionable stats in order to help you with the night’s NBA DFS slate of games.
Let’s get into some actionable stats for Thursday’s slate of games that will help you find top plays and/or games in order to build your best lineups.
1. 28%
Mikal Bridges is averaging a 28% usage rate since joining the Nets with Ben Simmons of the floor, but we have also seen him post a handful of games with 30% usage rates or higher. He is the leader of this Nets team and continues to have a very enticing upside.
2. 29th
In our Advanced DvP tool, the Pistons rank 29th against scorers, while also ranking 27th against ball handlers and crafty finishers, three traits that Jamal Murray has.
3. 7
However, Nikola Jokic has 7 traits and the Pistons tend to struggle against those as well.
4. 7
But, Giannis also has 7 traits and has a tremendous matchup against the Pacers in the majority of those traits. This leads me to believe that I want one of Jokic or Giannis, but if I don’t have Jokic, my interest is definitely higher on Jamal Murray.
5. 27th
The Kings are 27th against opposing shooters, while also being bottom five in 3PT% allowed, this sets up well for Mikal Bridges, who I already mentioned, but also for Cameron Johnson.
