NBA DFS, 2023: Top FanDuel, DraftKings tournament picks, advice for May 1 from a daily Fantasy pro

Before setting your NBA DFS lineups for the 2023 NBA playoffs on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Monday, May 1, 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 over at SportsLine. They're a must-see for any NBA DFS player.

On Sunday, McClure highlighted Warriors guard Stephen Curry as one of his top NBA DFS picks. The result: Curry set a new NBA record for points scored in a Game 7 (50) and also had eight rebounds, six assists and a steal to return 74 points on DraftKings and 70.6 on FanDuel. Anybody that included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.

One part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering 76ers center Paul Reed ($5,300 on DraftKings and $6,000 FanDuel). Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes stacking Reed with guard James Harden at $8,800 on DraftKings and $9,000 on FanDuel. Harden should be a positive regression candidate after he shot just 34.3% from the floor against the Nets and he'll have to carry a significant load offensively with Joel Embiid out. During the regular season, he averaged 21.0 points, 10.7 assists (to lead the NBA) and 6.1 rebounds per game.

McClure is also targeting a player who could go off for MASSIVE numbers on Monday! 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.
