The 2025 NBA Play-In Tournament continues on Wednesday with a pair of win-or-go-home games in the Heat vs. Bulls (-1) and Mavericks vs. Kings (-4.5). With expensive options in the NBA DFS player pool such as Domantas Sabonis, Anthony Davis and Bam Adabayo available for NBA DFS lineups, as well as more affordable options in the NBA DFS player pool like Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson, how should daily Fantasy basketball players craft their NBA DFS lineups?

Before setting your NBA DFS strategy on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Wednesday, April 16, 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 Warriors forward Jimmy Butler as one of his top NBA DFS picks on both sites. The result: Butler had 38 points, seven rebounds, six assists and three steals, returning 61.8 points on DraftKings and 62.4 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 Bulls guard Josh Giddey, who is listed at $9,500 on DraftKings and $9,200 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes stacking Giddey with Bulls guard/forward Kevin Huerter ($4,600 on DraftKings and $5,000 on FanDuel). Huerter averaged 14.2 points and 3.3 assists over six games in April. He played at least 29 minutes in five of those six games and in the contest he played only 16 minutes, Huerter had 18 points against the 76ers. He can be a strong asset to NBA DFS lineups at his price for McClure.

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.
