Injuries create opportunities for daily Fantasy basketball players seeking values in the NBA DFS player pool, and Dallas is the place to look for just that. The Mavericks are dealing with multiple injuries, most notably Luka Doncic (calf) who has been out since Christmas. Dereck Lively II (ankle) and Maxi Kleber (foot) are two big men out for Dallas, and center Daniel Gafford has taken advantage of his expanded minutes. Gafford has three double-doubles over his last four games, including 31 points, 15 rebounds and seven blocks in a game last week, so is he one to consider for your NBA DFS strategy against Jordan Poole, Kyle Kuzma and the Wizards on Monday?
Washington has the worst scoring defense in the league, allowing 122.1 ppg, so Monday could be an attractive day to use multiple Mavs like Gafford, Kyrie Irving or PJ Washington as NBA daily Fantasy picks. With a 12-game slate on Monday and an NBA DFS player pool filled with stars like Donovan Mitchell, LeBron James, LaMelo Ball and Jayson Tatum, who should you include in your NBA DFS strategy?

On Tuesday (when McClure last made NBA DFS picks), McClure highlighted 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey as one of his top NBA DFS picks from the NBA DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Maxey had 28 points, two rebounds, 10 assists and two steals, returning 51.5 points on DraftKings and 49.4 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups…
