NBA DFS: Nikola Jokic and top DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy basketball picks for March 2, 2021

With six games on the NBA DFS main slate and hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line in NBA DFS tournaments and cash games, the right NBA DFS lineups on Tuesday could prove to be extremely lucrative. In order to separate yourself from the pack, you’ll need to identify the NBA DFS picks who present the best value relative to their cost. For instance, NBA DFS players who have rostered Suns center Deandre Ayton have seen some massive returns recently at an extremely affordable price, including 33 or more points on DraftKings in five of his last six outings.

Is Ayton worth rostering Tuesday against the Lakers, a team that’s giving up just 105.6 points per game this season, which ranks second in the NBA? You’ll need to answer these types of questions before locking in your NBA DFS lineups in tournaments like the $444K NBA Clutch Shot on FanDuel or the $450K Fadeaway on DraftKings.

Top NBA DFS picks for Tuesday, March 2

One of McClure’s top NBA DFS picks for his Tuesday NBA daily Fantasy lineups is Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo at $11,000 on DraftKings and $11,300 on FanDuel. The two-time reigning NBA MVP is having another stellar season in Milwaukee, averaging 29.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.

He’s recorded a double-double in nine of his last 10 outings, and he erupted for 36 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and one steal in Milwaukee’s 105-100 victory over the Clippers on Sunday. That impressive performance helped him record over 70 points on DraftKings, and McClure believes he has a great shot at producing similar numbers again on Tuesday against the Nuggets. In his last meeting against Denver, Antetokounmpo recorded 30 points, nine rebounds and three blocks. 

Part of McClure’s optimal NBA DFS strategy includes rostering Nuggets center Nikola Jokic at $10,800 on DraftKings and $11,000 on FanDuel. Jokic has been stellar for the Nuggets this season, averaging 27.1 points, 11.0 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game. 

Jokic has been putting up massive numbers on both DraftKings and FanDuel on a regular basis, and in what should be an offensive shootout against the Bucks, Jokic’s ceiling is incredibly high this evening. In his last meeting against Milwaukee, Jokic filled the stat sheet, racking up 35 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. He’s also recorded over 55 points on DraftKings in nine of his last 10 outings, so confidently lock him in your NBA DFS lineups.
