The 2025 NBA Playoffs continue with a trio of Game 2 contests on Wednesday. The Celtics host the Magic (+10.5) at 7 p.m. ET, and the Cavaliers host the Heat (+12.5) at 7:30 p.m. ET as the top two seeds in the East look to take 2-0 series leads. The finale at 9:30 p.m. ET features Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun and the Rockets (-3.5) trying to even their series against Golden State after dropping Game 1 at home. Stephen Curry had 31 points and Jimmy Butler was "Playoff Jimmy" with 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists in his Golden State postseason debut, so should you spend up to include either of them in Wednesday NBA DFS picks? The NBA DFS player pool also features the likes of Jaylen Brown Paolo Banchero Franz Wagner, so what's the best way for daily Fantasy basketball players to form NBA DFS lineups?

Before setting your NBA DFS strategy on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Wednesday, April 23, you need to see what Mike McClure has to say.

McClure is a DFS professional with over $2 million in career winnings. 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 at SportsLine. They're a must-see for any NBA DFS player. 

On Tuesday, McClure identified Pacers power forward Pascal Siakam as one of his top NBA DFS picks on both sites. The result: Siakam had 24 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals, returning 49.8 points on DraftKings and 48.7 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups could have been well on the way to a profitable day!

For Wednesday, one of McClure's top NBA DFS picks is Heat power forward/center Bam Adebayo, who is listed at $8,400 on DraftKings and $8,800 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes Rockets guard Fred VanVleet ($5,800 on DraftKings and $6,200 on FanDuel). VanVleet struggled in Game 1 with 10 points on 4 of 19 shooting and added seven assists. But the 31-year-old guard still played 40 minutes despite his off-night shooting and can return value at his price for NBA DFS lineups. 

McClure is also targeting a player who could go off for massive numbers on Wednesday! 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.
