The 2024-25 NBA season continues with an eight-game slate on Wednesday. With options in the NBA DFS player pool such as Donovan Mitchell, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Cade Cunningham available for NBA DFS lineups, how should daily Fantasy basketball players form an NBA DFS strategy?

Before making your NBA DFS picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Wednesday, March 5, 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 Monday (when McClure last made NBA DFS picks), McClure highlighted Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane as one of his top NBA DFS picks from the NBA DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Bane had 35 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, returning 66 points on DraftKings and 57 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 Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards, who is listed at $9,300 on DraftKings and $9,600 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie ($5,600 on DraftKings and $5,100 on FanDuel). The Mavericks play their first game since Kyrie Irving tore his ACL and with significant players like Anthony Davis (adductor), P.J. Washington (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (knee) out, Dinwiddie will take on a key offensive role. McClure expects him to return value 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.
