With hundreds of thousands on the line in various tournaments, cash games and 50-50s, and a small pool of players to choose from, some expert advice can go a long way when figuring out which players are worth paying up for and which value picks can surprise.

Jokic has been one of the highest scoring players in all of daily Fantasy this year, regularly returning 50 or more points on both sites. He averages 20.4 points, 10.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game this season, so he's a big man that produces in virtually every statistical category. Millsap, meanwhile, has stormed back from an ankle injury, averaging 21 points and 13 rebounds in his last two games. Lock in this top NBA DFS stack as a big part of your lineups on Sunday's short slate.
McClure is also targeting a player who is in a prime spot to explode for huge numbers on Sunday. The stars are aligning for him to return 40, even 50 points on both sites, and comes at a lower price than you would expect. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing.
