The 2025 NBA Playoffs continue with a pair of Game 2 contests on Monday. The Knicks host the Pistons (+7) and the Nuggets host the Clippers (-1.5) as both home teams looks to maintain homecourt advantages and take 2-0 series leads. Nikola Jokic had 29 points, nine rebounds and 12 assists for the Nuggets, and Karl-Anthony Towns had 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Knicks in their Game 1 victories, so should these big men be options to consider for Monday's NBA DFS picks? All four teams have strong guards in the NBA DFS player pool like Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham, James Harden and Jamal Murray. Then, there are viable frontcourt options like Kawhi Leonard, Tobias Harris, OG Anunoby and Jalen Duren, so how should daily Fantasy basketball players craft their NBA DFS lineups?
Before setting your NBA DFS strategy on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Monday, April 21, 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 Friday (when McClure last made NBA DFS picks), McClure identified Mavericks power forward/center Anthony Davis as one of his top NBA DFS picks on both sites. The result: Davis had 40 points, nine rebounds, two assists, a block and a steal, returning 57.8 points on DraftKings and 56.8 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups could have been well on the way to a profitable day!
For Monday, one of McClure's top NBA DFS picks is Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, who is listed at $11,500 on DraftKings and $12,500 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes Pistons guard Dennis Schroder ($4,000 on DraftKings and $5,100 on FanDuel). The 31-year-old guard played 26 minutes in Game 1, the fifth-most of any Pistons player despite coming off the bench. Schroder added eight points, three assists, two steals and a block and McClure likes his value at his price, which allows the chance to roster a star like Jokic in NBA DFS lineups.
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.
