The Cleveland Cavaliers are rolling into Monday’s matchup with the Magic on a seven-game winning streak, the longest active streak in the NBA. They’ve climbed to fourth in the East led by Donovan Mitchell’s 27.8 points and 5.9 assists per game. Outside of Mitchell, the Cavaliers have a pretty balanced attack with quality options in the NBA DFS player pool such as Jarrett Allen and Max Strus. Darius Garland (jaw) is out, which should allow even more scoring variance for Cleveland, so which options should you include in NBA DFS lineups on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings?
With eight games on Monday’s NBA schedule, there’s the opportunity to diversity NBA DFS lineups. Should you try to include stars from the NBA DFS player pool such as Joel Embiid, Luka Doncic or Devin Booker, or is more evenly spreading out your budget a better NBA DFS strategy for Monday? Before making your NBA DFS picks, be sure to check out the NBA DFS advice, player rankings, stacks, and top daily Fantasy basketball picks from SportsLine’s Mike McClure.

On Thursday (when he last published picks), McClure highlighted Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson as one of his top picks in his NBA DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Brunson had 41 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, two steals and a block, returning 67 points on DraftKings and 65.6 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
