NBA DFS players entering tournaments, cash games, or 50-50s on FanDuel or DraftKings for Sunday's NBA main slate have plenty of tough choices to make. Investing in Devin Booker, Joel Embiid or Jayson Tatum is a great way to guarantee production, but all three come with a hefty price tag on both sites. They'll eat up a large portion of your NBA DFS salary cap right off the bat, so making the right call on the value of players such as them will be critical when evaluating Sunday's NBA DFS slate.
Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday will be among popular NBA DFS stacks as the Bucks, who are averaging 129.5 points per game, take on the Knicks at 7:30 p.m. ET. Before you enter a NBA DFS tournament like the $450K Sunday Shootaround on DraftKings or the $400K Sunday NBA Clutch Shot on FanDuel, be sure to see the NBA DFS advice, player rankings and top daily Fantasy basketball picks from SportsLine's Mike McClure.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Sunday, Dec. 27 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, Dec. 27
One of McClure's top NBA DFS picks for his Sunday NBA daily Fantasy lineups is Hornets center Bismack Biyombo at $3,800 on DraftKings and $4,500 on FanDuel. Biyombo is expected to see his minutes increase for the Hornets with Cody Zeller (hand) sidelined four-to-six weeks.
In Charlotte's loss to the Thunder on Saturday, Biyombo filled the stat sheet with five points, nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks. He averaged 7.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 19.4 minutes per game over his 53 appearances last season. Biyombo is a complete steal at this price point, so lock him in your NBA DFS lineups for Sunday's slate.
Part of McClure's optimal NBA DFS strategy also includes rostering Warriors guard Stephen Curry at $9,300 on DraftKings and $8,300 on FanDuel. The Warriors are off to a slow start offensively this season, averaging just 99.0 points per game, which ranks 29th in the NBA. However, Curry, who missed most of last season due to injury, has been Golden State's main scoring threat, averaging 19.5 points per game thus far this season.
Curry finished with 19 points, six assists and four rebounds in Friday's loss to the Bucks, but he finished just 2-10 from behind the arc. The expected return of Draymond Green (foot) on Sunday should provide a boost against the Bulls, who have given up 124 or more points in each of their first two games this season. Lock him in as a top NBA DFS pick for Sunday and look for a big return against the Bulls.
