In his latest NBA DFS recommendations, SportsLine's Mike McClure—who has won over $2 million—targets Utah's Isaiah Collier and Brice Sensabaugh as top value plays for Thursday's nine-game slate. Stars like Anthony Edwards and Victor Wembanyama are in action, but injuries impact several lineups.
Thursday's nine-game NBA slate runs from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET, offering strong DFS options on DraftKings and FanDuel. Expected stars include Cade Cunningham, Trae Young, Cooper Flagg, Anthony Edwards, Kevin Durant, Paolo Banchero, Scottie Barnes, Victor Wembanyama, and Alperen Sengun.
Injuries sideline Alex Sarr (hamstring), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Kyshawn George (elbow), and Moses Moody (wrist).
Using his model that simulates games 10,000 times for matchups, trends, and injuries, McClure's top pick is Utah point guard Isaiah Collier ($7,800 DraftKings, $7,900 FanDuel). Collier averages 16.1 points over his last 10 games, including 18 points, five assists, three steals, and one block in Wednesday's 106-102 loss at Philadelphia, and 21 points with seven assists, two steals, three rebounds, and one block in a 115-105 loss to New Orleans on February 28.
McClure pairs Collier with shooting guard Brice Sensabaugh ($5,800 DraftKings, $5,200 FanDuel), who has double-digit points in six of nine recent games (14.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists average over 10). Sensabaugh scored 26 points and three rebounds in a 125-105 loss at Houston on February 23.
