NBA DFS, 2026: Top FanDuel, DraftKings picks, lineups, advice for Tuesday, May 5 from a daily Fantasy pro

DFS millionaire Mike McClure shares his top NBA DFS lineups today as the NBA playoffs continue

A pair of second-round series in the 2026 NBA playoffs tip off on Tuesday's NBA schedule, with Pistons vs. Cavs at 7 p.m. ET and Lakers vs. Thunder at 8:30 p.m. ET. NBA DFS lineups could revolve around Cade Cunningham, Donovan Mitchell, LeBron James and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but any one experienced with daily Fantasy basketball knows that economical options are a must. With Luka Doncic and Jalen Williams both out in Thunder vs. Lakers, there could be some undervalued players that would help complete your NBA DFS lineups.

Before making any NBA DFS picks for this two-game slate on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for this slate, 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.

For Tuesday, one of McClure's top NBA DFS picks is Lakers SF/PF LeBron James, who is $9,300 on DraftKings and $9,400 on FanDuel. He's also building around Pistons center Jalen Duren ($6,900 on DraftKings, $6,800 on FanDuel), who is coming off a 15-point, 15-rebound outing in Game 7 versus Orlando.

McClure is also targeting a player who could go off for massive numbers on Tuesday! 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.
