The second half of the 2020-21 NBA season officially begins on Wednesday with a two-game NBA DFS prime-time slate. The league’s leading scorer, Washington’s Bradley Beal, leads the Wizards against Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies at 8 p.m. ET. Another set of potential NBA DFS picks lead their teams in the second game, as Mavericks star Luka Doncic leads Dallas against DeMar DeRozan and the San Antonio Spurs at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Are you wise to consider Beal, Morant, Doncic or DeRozan for your NBA DFS strategy on Wednesday?

Top NBA DFS picks for Wednesday, March 10
One of McClure’s top NBA DFS picks for his Wednesday NBA daily Fantasy lineups is Wizards guard Russell Westbrook at $10,100 on DraftKings and $9,800 on FanDuel. Westbrook is inches away from averaging a triple-double, dropping 20.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game this season. That includes a 27-point, nine-rebound, 11-assist effort last Thursday against the Clippers.
Westbrook has logged either a double-double or triple-double in 12 straight games, and has managed to swipe a steal in six straight contests — including seven in his last two games heading into the All-Star break. Westbrook’s output has been beneficial for NBA DFS players, too, as he is delivering an average of almost 57 points on DraftKings in his last 10 games. Westbrook and the Wizards get the Grizzlies on Wednesday, a team he torched for 23 points, six rebounds and 15 assists earlier this season.
Part of McClure’s optimal NBA DFS strategy includes banking on Mavericks guard Luka Doncic at $10,700 on DraftKings and $11,000 on FanDuel. The perennial NBA MVP candidate is averaging 28.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game this season.
Doncic was absent during the Mavericks’ final game of the first half due to a back issue, but he played a team-high 32 minutes for Team LeBron in Sunday’s All-Star Game victory. Doncic has been an NBA DFS superstar of late, recording 50 or more points on DraftKings in six of his last eight games. Doncic and the Mavericks get San Antonio on Wednesday, a team he whipped for 36 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists earlier this season.
