NBA DFS players have a five-game main slate beginning at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 27 with some of the league's biggest names such as LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard and Blake Griffin among the most expensive options. Memphis, Indiana and Denver, the league's three best teams in terms of scoring defense, are all in action this evening, so points could be tough to come by on an evening where every game has an Over-Under of 221 total points or less. That means it'll take some creativity to cash in on a big NBA DFS tournament such as the $425K Big Jam on DraftKings or the $400K on FanDuel, and some professional help could go a long way. That's why you need to see the top NBA DFS picks, lineups and advice from Mike McClure, a DFS pro who has won almost $2M in his career.
McClure is a DFS professional and he's 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 off to a blistering start, cashing his first five lineups on DraftKings to open the season, as well as producing multiple other optimal lineups that have led to huge returns for followers. And he was all over Kevin Durant's massive night on Tuesday as KD piled up 49 points, nine assists and six rebounds -- leading to almost 80 points on FanDuel and around 7x value for owners.
For Tuesday's slate, McClure is banking on Pacers power forward Domantas Sabonis at $7,000 on FanDuel and $6,700 on DraftKings. The third-year player out of Gonzaga has been a consistent force this season, averaging close to a double-double (14.4 ppg, 9.7 rpg). He's also returned at least 5x value in four of his last five games on both sites, so you can be confident in what he'll be able to return this evening.
He's stacking him with Tyreke Evans ($5,300 on FanDuel, $5,200 on DraftKings) as Indiana travels to face a Phoenix defense that gives up over 114 points per game. And with Victor Oladipo (knee) out for this matchup, the Pacers will be relying more on Evans, who scored 14 points on Monday with Oladipo on the shelf.
McClure is also targeting a player capable of putting up big numbers who has a dream matchup Tuesday. The stars are aligning for him to return 40, even 50 points on both sites, and he comes at a great price. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
