Building NBA DFS lineups this Wednesday? See what SportsLine's NBA DFS Guru Jacob Gibbs has to say first. Gibbs is a data-driven Daily Fantasy Sports specialist who's never had a losing season.

Previously an analyst at numberFire, Jacob got his start in NBA DFS five years ago, turning a $25 deposit into nearly $3,000 his first season. Gibbs crushed NBA season last year, cashing around 65 percent of the time in cash games and nearly 55 percent of the time in tournaments.

On Wednesday, Gibbs is focusing on the value created by injuries in Indiana and Philadelphia to fit in studs like James Harden and Bam Adebayo. He's also rostering a player who's set to explode on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel. You need to see his optimal lineup before submitting any of your own.
