Two of the top teams in the NBA go head-to-head on Wednesday when the Boston Celtics host the Oklahoma City Thunder in a matchup sure to generate plenty of interest from daily Fantasy basketball players and regular NBA fans alike. This potential NBA Finals preview features popular options from the NBA DFS player pool such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Jaylen Brown (probable) and Jayson Tatum (questionable). It’s undoubtedly the most high-profile of the nine games on Wednesday’s NBA schedule, but is it the best contest to highlight in an NBA DFS strategy?
The Jazz vs. Grizzlies game has the highest over/under at 246.5 points, five points higher than any other game, per SportsLine consensus. Although it lacks a championship feel, there could be cheaper, high-upside options for NBA DFS lineups such as Johnny Juzang, Kyle Filipowski and Jaylen Wells. Before making any 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 Tuesday, McClure highlighted Pistons center Jalen Duren as one of his top NBA DFS picks from the NBA DFS player pool on both sites. The result: Duren had 15 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks, returning 36.2 points on DraftKings and 35.6 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups could have been well on the way to a profitable day.
