Sunday's NBA DFS player pool is stocked with big names, including Stephen Curry, Julius Randle, Paul George and Bradley Beal. However, those looking for value for your NBA DFS lineups on Sunday need to consider rostering Cavaliers guard Darius Garland. Cleveland's point guard is coming off a strong showing against the Raptors, recording 21 points, eight assists, one rebound and one steal.
Will Garland provide value against the New York Knicks, a team that's giving up 109.0 points per game this season? Or are you better off finding value elsewhere for your NBA DFS lineups? Before finalizing any of your NBA DFS picks for Sunday, be sure to check out the NBA DFS advice, player rankings, stacks and top daily Fantasy basketball picks from SportsLine's Mike McClure.
McClure is a DFS professional with nearly $2 million in career winnings. He's also a predictive data engineer at SportsLine who uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times, taking factors like matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account.
This allows him to find the best NBA DFS values and create optimal lineups that he shares only over at SportsLine. They're a must-see for any NBA DFS player.
On Saturday, McClure listed Suns point guard Chris Paul as one of his top NBA DFS picks on both sites. The result: Paul lit up the Atlanta Hawks with 16 points, 13 assists, six rebounds with a steal and a block to return 46.7 points on FanDuel and 48 on DraftKings. Anybody that included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Sunday, November 7 NBA DFS slate and locked in his top daily Fantasy basketball picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.
Top NBA DFS picks for Sunday, November 7
One of McClure's top NBA DFS picks for Sunday is Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo at $11,400 on DraftKings and $11,300 on FanDuel. The matchup-proof superstar has a bigger matchup against Washington on Sunday than meets the eye, as Milwaukee has underperformed and Washington has been one of the NBA's early success stories.
Washington allows the second-fewest fast-break points per game which is tough for a player like Antetokounmpo, but the Wizards also give up the second-most points in the paint per game, at 50.9. More than half of Antetokounmpo's field goal attempts this season have come within 10 feet of the basket and 37 percent have been at the rim. Antetokounmpo may not have his highest shooting volume night, but he should be getting plenty of looks in Washington's defensive blind spot.
Another key in McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Thunder guard Josh Giddey ($6,000 on FanDuel and $6,300 on DraftKings). Even in a bit of an off scoring night in his last start against the Lakers, he still had a productive Fantasy performance. Besides his five points, he had eight rebounds, eight assists, three steals and a block.
Giddey's 6-foot-7 wingspan has made things difficult for those he's been matched up against. On Sunday, Giddey will primarily defend Derrick White, who has been solid for the Spurs, but has averaged a career-high 1.8 turnovers per game to start the season. Add in that San Antonio's opponents have averaged 27 assists and 6.7 blocks per game over their last three, it's easy to see why Giddey is among McClure's top NBA DFS picks.
