- Cade Cunningham is priced at $9,800 on DraftKings and $10,000 on FanDuel after dropping 39 points in Game 1, making him a top‑value pick for the Pistons‑Magic matchup.
- Oso Ighodaro costs $4,300 (DK) / $4,100 (FD) and sees increased upside as Suns starter Mark Williams is questionable, with Ighodaro averaging 11 points on 72% shooting.
- Wendell Carter Jr. posted 17 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in Game 1, outperforming All‑Star Jalen Duren’s 8 points and 7 boards.
- Mike McClure leverages a 10,000‑simulation model and over $2 million in career DFS winnings to identify these optimal lineups, which he shares exclusively on SportsLine.
Why it matters: DFS players gain a clear edge by targeting Cunningham’s 39‑point performance and Ighodaro’s cheap upside, while costly stars risk busts; the limited two‑game slate amplifies each pick’s impact on prize pools and lineup strategy.
