NBA DFS players have two nights remaining before the All-Star Break, with Wednesday, Feb. 13, marking the final large slate as 22 teams are set to take the floor this evening. That means there's a massive player pool headlined by big names such as James Harden, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant, Luka Doncic and Steph Curry. To cash in on a big NBA DFS tournament such as the $333K Wednesday NBA Shot on FanDuel or the $400K Mega 6th Man on DraftKings, you'll need to make the right call on which stars to pay up for and which lesser-owned players can produce huge value. And before locking in any NBA DFS picks of your own, check out the optimal lineups and advice from DFS pro Mike McClure, who has won almost $2 million in his career.
McClure is also a predictive data engineer at SportsLine who uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times, taking factors like matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best NBA DFS values and create optimal lineups that he shares only over at SportsLine. They're a must-see for any NBA DFS player.
McClure is absolutely rolling through the 2018-19 NBA season, producing multiple optimal lineups that have led to huge returns for followers, including as much as 40x on FanDuel and 84x on DraftKings.
For Wednesday's slate, McClure is banking on Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns at $10,900 on FanDuel and $10,300 on DraftKings. Towns has been putting up huge numbers in recent games, averaging 28 points, 11.8 rebounds and four assists per game in his last five outings. He has a great chance to hit those type of numbers on Wednesday in a matchup against the Rockets in a game that has an Over-Under of 227.5 points.
Another pick he loves: Lou Williams ($8,100 on FanDuel, $7,100 on DraftKings), who will be carrying the Clippers' offense down the stretch after they traded Tobias Harris. Williams scored a season-high 45 points in his last outing and gets an extremely favorable matchup against the Suns on Wednesday, so you can lock him in as a top NBA DFS pick for this big slate.
McClure is also targeting a player capable of putting up big numbers who has a dream matchup on Wednesday. The stars are aligning for him to return 40, even 50 points on both sites, and he comes at a lower price than you would expect. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
