The 2018-19 NBA season rolls on Thursday night with a four-game slate for NBA DFS players that gets underway at 7 p.m. ET. There’s no shortage of star power available with players such as LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Blake Griffin among the top-priced options. FanDuel is running a $400K NBA Clutch Shot, while DraftKings is hosting a $450K Excellent 8’s for Thursday, Oct. 25. Before you enter these NBA DFS tournaments or any others for Thursday evening, you’ll want to see 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 is a DFS professional and 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 got off to a blistering start to the season, cashing five straight nights on DraftKings. And on Wednesday, McClure rostered Suns center DeAndre Ayton on both sites. The result? He exploded for 22 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and three blocks — returning almost 50 points on both sites.
For Thursday’s main slate, McClure is high on Lakers forward Lance Stephenson at $3,900 on FanDuel and $3,700 on DraftKings.
Stephenson filled up the stat sheet in Los Angeles’ 131-113 victory over the Suns on Wednesday, recording 23 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals. He’s a complete steal at this price point, so lock him in for Thursday’s slate.
Another pick he loves: Nuggets center Nikola Jokic at $10,300 on FanDuel and $9,800 on DraftKings. Jokic is averaging a double-double with 23.2 points and 10.5 rebounds per game this season, and he has a great chance to produce big numbers again on Thursday against a Lakers squad ranked dead last in the NBA in scoring defense.
McClure is also targeting a player capable of putting up massive numbers who has a dream matchup on Thursday. The stars are aligning for him to score 50, even 60 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.
