However, the likes of Jalen Brunson, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray would like nothing more than to go up 2-0. Which set of players should you target for your NBA DFS picks. Or, you can mix and match to fill out your daily Fantasy basketball lineups.

On Tuesday, McClure identified Pacers center Myles Turner as one of his top NBA DFS picks on both sites.

Anybody who included him in their lineups could have been well on the way to a profitable day!

For Wednesday, one of McClure's top NBA DFS picks is Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, who is listed at $11,000 on DraftKings and $11,700 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso ($4,300 on DraftKings and $5,300 on FanDuel). The ace defender showed off his offensive chops in Game 1 by scoring a postseason career-high of 20 points. His presence on defense was also felt as Caruso had five steals and two blocks -- also playoff career highs -- while adding six assists on the other end of the court.
