The coronavirus pandemic has forced sports leagues to get creative. The NBA is providing some action that begins at 7 p.m. ET Sunday, April 12, with a HORSE Challenge that will be nationally televised. A field of current and former NBA and WNBA players will take turns shooting from their home gyms, with the champion being crowned on Thursday. 

Trae Young (+225) is listed as the favorite to win it all in the 2020 NBA HORSE Challenge odds, followed closely by Chris Paul (+300) and Zach LaVine (+400). Before locking in any picks for the NBA HORSE Challenge, you NEED to see what Mike McClure has to say.

McClure is a DFS professional with nearly $2 million in career winnings. NBA is one of his specialities, as he's seen his lineups return as much as 40x on FanDuel and 84x on DraftKings.He's also a data-driven predictive data engineer at SportsLine who uses a powerful prediction model to help him make picks on every sport and event. With the NBA schedule currently paused, he's turned his attention to the NBA HORSE Challenge. 

We can tell you McClure is fading Young, even though he's the favorite to win it all. Known for his aggressive style that's made him into one of the top young players in the NBA, Young easily could take it too far in this contest as he looks to put on a show.

Instead, McClure says a critical X-factor makes one player a must-back! In fact, he says this event was tailor-made for them to shine. You ABSOLUTELY need to see what he has to say before laying any bets down.
