NBA Trend of the Day: Plus/Minus Over the Last Month

We truly believe here at FantasyLabs that we have the most unique tools and data available to DFS users. However, we also realize that those tools and data are only as awesome and helpful as our ability to communicate effectively how to use everything. As such, we will continually listen to feedback of what you need and try our best to teach our subscribers how to use all of the cool things we have to offer.

With this in mind, our “Trend of the Day” series features articles each weekday that walk subscribers through an important trend for that day’s slate of games, created with our Trends tool.

NBA Trend of the Day: Plus/Minus of Players Priced $9,000 or Greater Over the Last Month

With few higher-priced options available for tonight, it’s more about consistency (in cash games, anyways) when deciding who to pay up for. Since that’s the case, let’s take a look at how those players have performed over the last fantasy month.

Step 1: Player Filters > Salary > Set “9000 to 13200”

Harden is the top guy, averaging 54.6 DraftKings points in that span. Of note, Cousins has been ruled out tonight. Curry, facing the Spurs tonight, has scored fewer average points than Harden and has a lower Plus/Minus, but has a significantly higher consistency rating. Harden has a large spread against the Suns, while Steph has the tough Spurs defense. Which elite option will you go tonight?

Choose wisely.
