The home team has won each of the first four games in the Cavaliers vs. Magic series in the 2024 NBA playoffs as the series returns to Cleveland for Game 5 on Tuesday. Jarrett Allen has played a huge role in the middle for the Cavs, averaging 17 points and 13.8 rebounds over the first four games. So, should daily Fantasy basketball players include Allen (questionable; ribs) in NBA DFS lineups? Franz Wagner is coming off scoring 34 points for the Magic in Orlando, but he averaged 18 points over the two games in Cleveland, so how should he factor into your NBA DFS picks?
The Magic vs. Cavaliers is the only one of three series that can’t end on Tuesday. The Knicks host the 76ers with a 3-1 lead, and the Pacers play at the Bucks with a 3-1 series advantage. Joel Embiid (migraine) appeared on the NBA injury report Tuesday morning, so that’s a situation to monitor when constructing an NBA DFS strategy on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings. 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 Monday, McClure highlighted Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. as one of his top picks in his NBA DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Porter had 26 points, four rebounds and two steals, returning 38.5 points on DraftKings and 37.3 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
