After a day without games on Election Day, NBA DFS contests resume on Wednesday with 28 of 30 teams in action, offering a deep player pool that includes stars such as Jalen Brunson, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and rookie Cooper Flagg. Top rookies Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson, the No. 3 and No. 4 overall picks, are also available, while Thunder center Aday Mara has emerged as an economical option, averaging 8.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks over his last four games amid Oklahoma City's injury crisis.
DFS professional Mike McClure, who has amassed more than $2 million in career winnings and works as a predictive data engineer at SportsLine, uses a model that simulates every minute of each game 10,000 times to identify optimal lineups for DraftKings and FanDuel. For Wednesday, Nov. 4, McClure's top picks include Knicks forward OG Anunoby at $6,200 on DraftKings and $5,900 on FanDuel. Anunoby has averaged 17.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists over his last six games, including a season-high 23 points against the Bulls, whom New York faces again. Chicago allows the most points per game, the highest opponent three-point percentage, and the second-highest field-goal percentage, making several Knicks attractive fantasy options.
McClure also favors Celtics point guard Derrick White at $6,700 on DraftKings and $5,900 on FanDuel. White draws a matchup against a Bucks team with the league's worst record and the 28th-ranked scoring defense. Milwaukee has surrendered the most fantasy points to opponents on FanDuel and the second most on DraftKings. White averages 11.1 points, 4.9 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.4 steals, providing a low-cost, high-upside option for Wednesday lineups.
McClure has identified an additional player who could produce massive numbers due to an optimal matchup, which he says could be the difference between winning tournaments and cash games. His full set of NBA DFS picks, rankings, advice, and stacks is available through SportsLine.
