NBA daily fantasy sports contests resume on Wednesday with 28 of 30 teams in action after no games were held on Election Day. The player pool features stars such as Jalen Brunson, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic and Cooper Flagg, along with top rookies Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson, the No. 3 and No. 4 overall picks. Oklahoma City Thunder center Aday Mara has also emerged as an economical option, averaging 8.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks over his last four games while filling a larger role due to injuries.
DFS professional Mike McClure, who has more than $2 million in career winnings and works as a predictive data engineer at SportsLine, has released his top NBA DFS picks for Wednesday. McClure's model simulates every minute of each game 10,000 times, accounting for matchups, statistical trends and injuries.
One of McClure's top selections is New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby, priced at $6,200 on DraftKings and $5,900 on FanDuel. Anunoby has averaged 17.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists over his last six games, including a season-high 23 points against the Chicago Bulls last Wednesday. The Knicks face the Bulls again, a team that allows the most points per game, the highest opponent three-point percentage and the second-highest field-goal percentage.
McClure is also building lineups around Boston Celtics point guard Derrick White, listed at $6,700 on DraftKings and $5,900 on FanDuel. White draws a favorable matchup versus the Milwaukee Bucks, who have the league's worst record and the 28th-ranked scoring defense. The Bucks have allowed the most fantasy points to opponents on FanDuel and the second most on DraftKings. White averages 11.1 points, 4.9 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals, offering low-cost, high-upside potential.
McClure has identified an additional player who could produce massive numbers due to an optimal matchup, which he says could be the difference between winning tournaments and cash games. His full optimal lineups, rankings, advice and stacks are available exclusively on SportsLine.
