Immanuel Quickley hasn't been quite the aberration that he was for last year's New York Knicks team, but over his last 10 games, he's shown signs of recapturing the magic from his rookie season. During that stretch, he has averaged 15.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists. Prior to that, he had averaged just 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and three assists. Can Quickley continue his strong play on Sunday against the Jazz and provide value for your NBA DFS lineups?
Against the Jazz on February 7, Quickley shot just 22 percent from the floor and finished with just five points and five rebounds. Over his last 10 outings, he's made 46.2 percent of his attempts and played an average of 27.3 minutes per appearance.

Top NBA DFS picks for Sunday, March 20
One of McClure's top NBA DFS picks on Sunday is Suns guard Devin Booker, who is listed at $9,000 on DraftKings and $9,600 on FanDuel. Over Booker's last five games, he has averaged 28.6 points and 6.4 assists. In his last outing against Chicago on Friday, Booker scored a game-high 28 points and made 10 of his 18 total shots.
The Suns visit Sacramento on Sunday, who the Suns haven't seen since November. In two games against the Kings this season, Booker has averaged 24.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and seven assists. Over their last three games, the Kings have allowed opponents to hit 45.9 percent of their 3-point attempts, which is the second-highest rate in the league. In his last three starts, Booker has drained a healthy 41.7 percent of his shots from downtown. Lock him in your NBA DFS lineups and look for a big return against Sacramento.
Another part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Magic forward Wendell Carter Jr. ($7,800 on DraftKings and $6,900 on FanDuel). Carter missed the Magic's last game with an ankle sprain, but has been removed from the team's injury report against Oklahoma City. Over his last five starts, Carter has averaged 18.8 points, 10 rebounds, 3.2 assist and a block per game. Part of that stretch includes a 23-point, 16-rebound performance against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Thunder have allowed the third-most Fantasy points to opposing power forwards this season, and have been short-handed in the front court for weeks with injuries to their forwards and centers. Oklahoma City has allowed power forwards to hit an average of 2.44 3-pointers per game, and Carter comes into the matchup having made 42.9 percent of his threes over his last five starts.
