NBA DFS, 2022: Top FanDuel, DraftKings tournament picks, advice for May 12 from a daily Fantasy pro

Before setting your NBA DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for the 2022 NBA Playoffs on Thursday, May 12, you NEED to see what Mike McClure has to say. 

McClure is a DFS professional with nearly $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 over at SportsLine. They're a must-see for any NBA DFS player.

On Wednesday, McClure listed Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo as one of his top NBA DFS picks on both DraftKings and FanDuel. The result: Antetokounmpo finished the day as the top-scoring Fantasy player, 40 points, 11 rebounds, a block and a steal to return 61.25 points on DraftKings and 56.7 points on FanDuel. Anybody that included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.

For Thursday, one of McClure's top NBA DFS picks is Mavericks star Luka Doncic, who is listed at $11,500 on DraftKings and $11,700 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Suns forward Jae Crowder ($5,400 on DraftKings and $5,100 on FanDuel). Crowder had an off night in Phoenix's Game 5 win against Dallas, but it didn't matter after his team won by 30 points anyway. Prior to that, Crowder was in a nice groove offensively, and had averaged 16.3 points with 6.7 rebounds and three assists over his last three starts.

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.
