The NBA season is upon us, tipping off with a light three game slate tonight. Here at DailyOverlay, we will be tracking and grading the expert’s picks throughout the NBA season. We will start the season by publishing the Industry Consensus picks each Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and reporting on how the experts are doing once a week with our grades and DailyOverlay score for each expert being tracked.
We start off on this first Tuesday night of the season tracking 12 experts’ selections. Looks like there is a stars and scrubs approach by the experts on opening night, as we can see a couple of the high priced stars in Anthony Davis and LeBron James at the top of the list tonight, along with a couple value plays also near the top in Kent Bazemore and Nate Robinson. The experts also seem to prefer paying up for either Davis or James over Stephen Curry, who shows up a little further down the list tonight.
The numbers in the parenthesis are the number of experts that picked that player to give you more context as to the gaps between players and the tiers. So without further delay here are the Industry Consensus picks for opening night…
