- Nikola Jokic costs $12,400 on DraftKings and $12,600 on FanDuel, and after a 25‑13‑11 triple‑double in Game 1 he’s the premier stat‑stuffing option for Monday’s lineups.
- Josh Hart is priced at $6,300 on FanDuel and $5,500 on DraftKings, making him the 14th‑most expensive player and a high‑value rebound/steal contributor after his 14‑rebound Game 1 performance.
- Mike McClure uses a 10,000‑simulation model that evaluates every minute of each game, guiding DFS players to target value picks across the Cavaliers‑Raptors, Knicks‑Hawks, and Timberwolves‑Nuggets matchups.
Why it matters: DFS players who follow Clure’s picks can capture premium value on high‑priced stars like Jokic, boosting their win‑rates and prize earnings, while opponents who ignore the data risk overspending on overvalued players.
