On Thursday, McClure rostered Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi. The result? She went off for 27 points, five assists and two rebounds. Anybody who had her in their lineup was well on the way to a profitable day.

She's one of the top overall post players in the league and regularly puts up big numbers scoring, rebounding and in blocked shots. Phoenix will rely on these two in the opener of this best-of-five series against the Storm that gets underway at 5 p.m. ET. 

McClure is also targeting a player capable of putting up massive numbers who has a dream matchup on Sunday. The stars are aligning for her to put up 20, even 30 points on DraftKings and FanDuel. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
