The 2024-25 NBA season continues with an 11-game slate on Wednesday. Although Thursday is the official NBA Trade Deadline, Wednesday had a busy start to the final 48 hours of the trading period. Wednesday morning featured multiple trades, including the Wizards and Bucks agreeing to a deal highlighted by Kyle Kuzma joining the Bucks and Khris Middleton going to Washington. Trades lead to smaller benches, which drastically affect the NBA DFS player pool, so be sure to keep an eye on the latest news when making Wednesday NBA DFS picks and an NBA DFS strategy, especially with stars like Donovan Mitchell (shoulder), Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Kevin Durant (ankle) listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Before making your NBA DFS picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Wednesday, February 5, you need to see what Mike McClure has to say.

On Monday (when McClure last made NBA DFS picks), McClure highlighted Nuggets center Nikola Jokic as one of his top NBA DFS picks from the NBA DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Jokic had 27 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and a steal, returning 70 points on DraftKings and 66.8 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 Jokic, who is listed at $12,800 on DraftKings and $13,000 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Timberwolves power forward/center Naz Reid ($6,300 on DraftKings and $7,000 on FanDuel). The 25-year-old had 30 points, five rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 40 minutes in a 16-114 loss to the Kings on Monday as he's set to continue to play an expanded role with Julius Randle (groin) out. Reid has been a player throughout his career who has proven the ability to produce when given increased opportunities due to injuries as he's averaging 20.4 points and 8.4 rebounds over 31 career games where he's played at least 30 minutes.

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.
