McClure's top NBA DFS picks for the 2020 All-Star Game
For the 2020 NBA All-Star Game, McClure is banking on 76ers guard and Team LeBron member Ben Simmons. The 23-year-old is making his second NBA All-Star appearance on Sunday after averaging 16.9 points, 8.3 assists and 7.9 rebounds per game in the first half of the season. Simmons also leads the NBA in steals per game (2.2).
In the 2019 NBA All-Star Game, Simmons played nearly 17 minutes and went 5-for-5 from the field with 10 points, seven assists and six rebounds. As a facilitator in a game absolutely loaded with above-the-rim players where defense is limited, Simmons' attacking game is well-oriented to the format.
Part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy for Sunday includes rostering Bucks forward and Team Giannis captain Giannis Antetokounmpo. The defending NBA MVP is making his fourth NBA All-Star appearance and he's putting up even better numbers so far in 2019-20 than he did during his MVP season.
Antetokounmpo is averaging 30.0 points, 13.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, and he's become a more capable and willing 3-point shooter (31.3 percent) to help keep defenses honest from playing him off. Antetokounmpo is shooting a robust 68.5 percent from the floor in his three previous all-star games. Last season he had 38 points, 11 rebounds and five assists as one of the captains along with James, so he's a solid bet to turn in another big stat line on Sunday.
How to set your NBA DFS lineups for the All-Star Game 2020
McClure is also targeting another player set to go off for a tournament-winning numbers on Sunday. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
