Before making any NBA DFS picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for this slate, 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.

For Thursday, one of McClure’s top NBA DFS picks is Nuggets center Nikola Jokic at $12,900 on DraftKings and $12,800 on FanDuel. He’s also building around Bucks point guard Kevin Porter Jr. ($7,600 on DraftKings, $8,500 on FanDuel), who is coming off a 32-point performance on Saturday. Porter will be asked to do more offensively with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out, and he’s averaging 21.8 points, 5.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds in six starts this season.

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.
