The 2024-25 NBA season continues with a six-game slate on Thursday. With options in the NBA DFS player pool such as Karl-Anthony Towns, LeBron James and Zion Williamson available as NBA DFS picks, how should daily Fantasy basketball players form an NBA DFS strategy?

Before filling out your NBA DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Thursday, March 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 Celtics guard Payton Pritchard as one of his top NBA DFS picks from the NBA DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Pritchard had 43 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, returning 69.5 points on DraftKings and 62.5 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 Lakers point guard Luka Doncic, who is listed at $11,200 on DraftKings and $11,400 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering 76ers power forward/center Guerschon Yabusele ($5,100 on DraftKings and $5,700 on FanDuel). Yabusele had 18 points and seven rebounds in a 126-112 loss for the shorthanded 76ers against the Timberwolves on Tuesday. The 76ers remain without top options with Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (back) both out. Paul George (groin) is questionable.

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.
