The 2024-25 NBA season continues with a six-game slate on Thursday. Even after several players changing teams due to trades, and thus being unavailable, the Thursday NBA DFS player pool is still filled with top options such as Jayson Tatum, Alperen Sengun, Kyrie Irving and Anthony Edwards.

Before making your NBA DFS picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Thursday, Feb. 6, 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 Wednesday, McClure highlighted Timberwolves power forward/center Naz Reid as one of his top NBA DFS picks from the NBA DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Reid had 22 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and two blocks, returning 52.5 points on DraftKings and 51 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups could have been well on the way to a profitable day!

For Thursday, one of McClure's top NBA DFS picks is Nikola Jokic, who is listed at $12,800 on DraftKings and $12,900 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Warriors points guard Steph Curry ($8,200 on DraftKings and $8,500 on FanDuel). Curry had 32 points and seven assists in a 131-128 loss to the Jazz on Wednesday while playing with a limited rotation with four players pending trades. The Warriors will be shorthanded again after trading for Jimmy Butler, who is unlikely to play on Thursday.

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