The 2024-25 NBA season continues with an eight-game slate on Monday. With options in the NBA DFS player pool such as LeBron James, Paolo Banchero and Tyrese Haliburton available as NBA DFS picks, how should daily Fantasy basketball players form an NBA DFS strategy?

Before creating your NBA DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Monday, March 24, 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 Thursday (when McClure last made NBA DFS picks), McClure highlighted Nets forward Ziaire Williams as an under-the-radar play as one of his top NBA DFS picks from the NBA DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Williams had 22 points, five rebounds and two steals, returning 35.8 points on DraftKings and 33.5 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 guard Jamal Murray, who is listed at $8,100 on DraftKings and $7,900 on FanDuel. Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (9,100 on DraftKings and $9,000 on FanDuel). Giddey is coming off a monstrous DFS performance with a near quadruple-double. He had 15 points, 10 rebounds, 17 assists and eight steals in a 146-115 victory over the Lakers on Saturday. It was his second triple-double over his last four games as Giddey is averaging 21.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 9.3 assists over six games this month.

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.
