Although he doesn’t draw headlines like other NBA players at his position, Cleveland guard Collin Sexton is quietly delivering exceptional results in his third season in the league. The former Alabama standout is posting 24.0 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game for the Cavaliers entering Monday’s matchup against the Spurs. And Sexton has been one of the more consistent NBA DFS picks in recent games, offering an average of almost 39 points on DraftKings in each of his last eight outings.
Is Sexton primed to be a major contributor to your NBA DFS lineups on Monday, or will DeMar DeRozan and the Spurs negate much of his impact? And which other players should you consider for daily Fantasy basketball tournaments, 50-50s and cash games on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel?

Top NBA DFS picks for Monday, April 5
One of McClure’s top NBA DFS picks for his Monday NBA daily Fantasy lineups is Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns at $10,600 on DraftKings and $11,000 on FanDuel. Towns is averaging 24.6 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists this season. That includes a 39-point, 14-rebound, five-assist outburst on Saturday against the Sixers.
Towns has posted a double-double in five consecutive games, during which he’s averaged 29.0 points, 15.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 2.8 3-pointers and 1.7 blocks. More importantly, Towns has produced an average of over 60 points per game on DraftKings in that same span. Towns and the Timberwolves get the Kings on Monday, a team that ranks 28th in the NBA defending his position. Lock him in your NBA DFS lineups and look for a big return against Sacramento.
Part of McClure’s optimal NBA DFS strategy on Monday includes rostering Rockets center Christian Wood at $8,800 on DraftKings and $8,000 on FanDuel. Wood is averaging 20.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in 26 appearances this season. That includes a 15-point, 12-rebound, three-assist effort against the Pelicans on Sunday.
Wood’s performance against New Orleans marked his fourth double-double since returning from an extended injury absence. In those nine games, Wood has delivered an average of over 36 points per game on DraftKings. Wood and the Rockets get the Suns on Monday, a team he torched for 20 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and two blocks earlier in the season. Wood is a complete steal at this price point, so confidently lock him in your NBA DFS lineups.
