Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is in his 10th NBA season and he's been a staple of the NBA on Christmas Day -- an honor typically reserved for the NBA's biggest draws as teams or individuals -- for each of the last four years. On Sunday, he'll be looking for a repeat of his epic Christmas performance last year against the Celtics where he had 36 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in less than 30 minutes. The Bucks will visit the Celtics at 5 p.m. ET and Antetokounmpo is sure to be one of the more popular options in the NBA DFS player pool as he enters scoring a career-high 31.6 points per game.

Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is also having a career year as a scorer (30.6 ppg) and he's already had five 40-point games this season, including two in the month of December. So how much exposure should you have to Tatum and Antetokounmpo in your NBA DFS lineups? Before making any NBA DFS picks, 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 over $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 Friday, he highlighted Mavericks guard Luka Doncic as one of his top NBA DFS picks on DraftKings and FanDuel. The result: Doncic finished with 50 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds and three steals to return 82 points on DraftKings and 76.6 points on FanDuel. Anybody that included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to NBA action on Sunday and locked in his top daily Fantasy basketball picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.

Top NBA DFS picks for Christmas 2022

For Christmas Day, one of McClure's top NBA DFS picks is Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, who is listed at $10,600 on DraftKings and $10,100 on FanDuel. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft won NBA Rookie of the Year honors in his first season and then made his first NBA All-Star team last season in Year 3. Now he's taken another gigantic leap towards true superstardom and his Grizzlies are looking like legitimate NBA title contenders.

They're coming off a dominant 125-100 win on the road over the Suns to move back into second in the Western Conference standings and Morant collected his sixth double-double in his last seven games with 12 points and 11 assists. He's averaging 26.5 points, 7.9 assists and 6.4 rebounds per game this year and now he's got a juicy matchup against the Warriors. In three postseason games against Golden State before suffering an injury last season, Morant averaged 38.3 points, 8.3 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals.

Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Warriors guard Jordan Poole ($8,300 on DraftKings and $7,800 on FanDuel). The 23-year-old is now in his fourth season in the NBA and he's established himself as a high-level scorer over the last few seasons. Poole's scoring ability has earned him a larger role in the Golden State system every season.

Now Poole finds himself as a primary scoring option with Stephen Curry out of the lineup because of a shoulder injury. In the four games since Curry went down, Poole is averaging 27.8 points per game and he's now up to 19.1 points and 4.4 assists per game this season. He's had at least 20 points in nine of his last 11 contests and he's averaging 20.3 points per game in his career as a starter.
