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 Friday's NBA DFS slate, McClure is banking on Hornets guard Kemba Walker at at $9,200 on FanDuel and $8,200 on DraftKings. Oddsmakers have put an over-under of 232 points on the Hornets vs. Wizards matchup, meaning it is expected to be one of the highest-scoring of the evening. And Walker is set to benefit from the fast pace as he tries to keep Charlotte in the NBA playoff picture as they enter play this evening two games out of the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.
Part of McClure's NBA DFS strategy includes targeting another high-scoring guard in Lou Williams ($7,700 on FanDuel, $7,100 on DraftKings), who has scored 34 or more points in two of his last three games for the Clippers. He gets a nice matchup against a Bulls squad that is in complete rebuilding mode. Chicago is ranked 20th in the league in scoring defense, so there should be plenty of opportunities for Williams to pile up another high-scoring performance.
McClure is also targeting a sleeper capable of putting up big numbers who has a dream matchup Friday. The stars are aligning for him to return 30, even 40 points on both sites, and he comes at close to the minimum price. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
