The final full month of regular season NBA action continues to roll on Saturday as 16 teams take the floor for the March 2 NBA DFS main slate, which begins at 7 p.m. ET with a Magic vs. Pacers matchup and concludes with a trio of 9 p.m. ET games. There are plenty of big-time scorers available for tournaments on sites such as DraftKings or FanDuel, but the NBA injury report certainly will come into play as well with players like Paul George (shoulder), Joel Embiid (knee) and Lonzo Ball (ankle) among the players expected to sit out. Before locking in any NBA DFS picks of your own for 3-2-19, first be sure to see what professional DFS player Mike McClure has to say. His optimal lineups and advice can help you cash in on Saturday.

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 Saturday's slate, McClure is banking on Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder ($5,100 on FanDuel, $5,000 on DraftKings). Often overlooked because of Russell Westbrook, Schroder is a consistent contributor who can pile up points at a very affordable price. He's seen at least 30 minutes on the floor in three of OKC's last four games, and he's had at least 12 attempts from the floor in every game during that span. With George ruled out, the Thunder will be looking for scoring from everywhere, so confidently lock in Schroder as a top NBA DFS value pick.
Part of McClure's NBA DFS strategy includes targeting Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo at $5,600 on FanDuel, $5,300 on DraftKings, who has put up huge numbers recently and now gets an extremely favorable matchup against the Suns on Saturday. Rondo has been close to a triple-double in his last two games, and with Ball still on the shelf, he has plenty of upside in what should be a fast-paced matchup against Phoenix.
McClure is also targeting a sleeper capable of putting up big numbers who has a dream matchup on Saturday. The stars are aligning for him to return 30, even 40 points on both sites, and he comes at a much lower price than you would expect. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
