With so much on the line for this big Saturday evening slate, be sure to check out the top NBA DFS picks and lineups from Mike McClure. He’s a professional DFS player who has won almost $2 million in his career.

McClure got off to a blistering start to the season, cashing five straight nights on DraftKings. And on Friday, McClure rostered Clippers forward Montrezl Harrell. The result? He exploded with a career-high 30 points, six rebounds, two blocks and two steals — returning almost 50 points on FanDuel and over 9x value for owners.

For Saturday’s main slate, McClure is high on Hawks forward Taurean Prince at $7,200 on FanDuel and $6,600 on DraftKings, who is off to a blistering start this season with 21.8 points per game. That’s over double his career average, yet he still comes at a reasonable price on both sites. 

He’s stacking him with rookie guard Trae Young ($7,600 on FanDuel, $7,200 on DraftKings), who went for 35 points and 11 assists last weekend against the Cavs. The Hawks get a nice matchup against the Bulls, a 1-4 squad that is ranked 27th in the NBA in scoring defense, so lock in this top NBA DFS stack and look for a huge return on value Saturday evening. 

McClure is also targeting a player capable of putting up massive numbers who has a dream matchup on Saturday. The stars are aligning for him to score 30, even 40 points, 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.
