The 2024 NBA Play-In Tournament concludes on Friday with the final spots in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference playoffs on the line. The Miami Heat host the Chicago Bulls for the final Eastern Conference spot with the New Orleans Pelicans hosting the Sacramento Kings for the final Western Conference spot. Before setting your NBA DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Friday, April 19, you NEED to see what Jimmie Kaylor has to say. 

Kaylor is a DFS and betting expert for SportsLine, who won a DraftKings Millionaire Maker contest in 2022. He uses a combination of his background as a former college and professional athlete and his keen eye for statistical trends when making his picks and locking in his DFS lineups. Kaylor enters the 2024 calendar year with multiple five-figure tournament cashes on his DFS resume.

Kaylor's approach allows him to find the best NBA DFS values and create optimal lineups that he only shares on SportsLine. They're a must-see for any NBA DFS player.

On Friday (when Kaylor last made picks), Kaylor highlighted Timberwolves center Naz Reid as one of his top picks in his NBA DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Reid had 19 points and three rebounds, two assists and a block, returning 27.75 points on DraftKings and 26.6 points on FanDuel as one of the better values in the NBA DFS player pool. Anybody who included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.

For Friday, one of Kaylor's top NBA DFS picks is Heat center Bam Adebayo ($8,700 on DraftKings and $8.500 on FanDuel). Another part of Kaylor's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Kings guard Keon Ellis ($5,000 on DraftKings and $5,600 on FanDuel). Ellis had 15 points, four rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks in a win over the Warriors in their first play-in tournament contest. He was a contributor in all facets offensively and defensively both for the Kings and in generating points for NBA DFS lineups. It was his third straight game with multiple steals and second straight with multiple blocks as his defensive contributions make him an asset for NBA DFS picks even on days when De'Aaron Fox or Domantas Sabonis may dominate the scoring.

Kaylor is also targeting a player who could go off for MASSIVE numbers on Friday! This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any lineups.
