The Orlando Magic have more injured players than they have wins this season, but they have had some good fortune with the play of Bol Bol. The Magic’s trade for him last season largely slipped under the radar, as he had yet to be given a consistent opportunity and didn’t play much of last year with a foot injury. Over the last six games, Bol has averaged 16 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks, so should you consider dropping him into your NBA DFS lineups on Friday? The Magic take on Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls at 8 p.m. ET, as well as longtime former Magic player, Nikola Vucevic.
Vucevic has had similar numbers to Bol over his last six games (12.8 ppg, 10 rbg), but Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan could be the name to target in the NBA DFS player pool, after he averaged 30 points per game and shot 62.5% from downtown in four starts against Orlando last season. That’s one of 11 games on the Friday NBA schedule, so there are a lot of choices for daily Fantasy basketball players on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings.

On Thursday, he highlighted Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard as one of his top NBA DFS picks on both DraftKings and FanDuel. The result: Lillard scored 25 points and had 11 assists with three rebounds and a block to return 49.25 points on DraftKings and 46.1 points on FanDuel. Anybody that included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
Now, McClure has turned his attention…
