NBA DFS, 2025: FanDuel, DraftKings tournament picks, advice for Monday, April 28 from a daily Fantasy pro

The 2025 NBA Playoffs continue on Monday with a pair of Game 4 matchups with Cavaliers vs. Heat at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by Warriors vs. Rockets at 10 p.m. ET. The Cavs will be looking for the sweep behind Donovan Mitchell and Defensive Player of the Year, Evan Mobley, who could be a winning NBA DFS stack for daily Fantasy basketball lineups. Then, Steph Curry will look to lead Golden State to a 3-1 lead over Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun and Houston. Jimmy Butler (pelvis) is questionable, so what other options in the NBA DFS player pool could you seek out in that contest?

Before setting your NBA DFS strategy on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Monday, April 28, 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 he last made picks), McClure identified Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards as one of his top NBA DFS picks on both sites. The result: Edwards had 29 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals, returning 58.5 points on DraftKings and 57.6 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 Heat PF/C Bam Adebayo, who is listed at $8,700 on DraftKings and $8,300 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes Warriors PF/C Draymond Green ($6,500 on DraftKings and $6,200 on FanDuel). Green won't wow you with his scoring but he fills up the box score on a nightly basis. He ranks second in the playoffs with 2.7 steals, ninth with 1.7 blocks, and is averaging 8.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists versus Houston this season.

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.
