The NBA DFS player pool is deep on Friday with 22 teams in action, but the lack of stars makes it not quite so top-heavy. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis are the four most expensive players on both DraftKings and FanDuel, but all four have either already been ruled out or are game-time decisions. But as a daily Fantasy basketball owner who is not allotting precious NBA DFS salary cap space to those options, you should be able to build a stacked NBA DFS lineup.

Before making your NBA DFS picks for Friday, be sure to check out the NBA DFS advice, player rankings, stacks and top daily Fantasy basketball picks from SportsLine’s Mike McClure.
McClure is a DFS professional with over $2 million in career winnings. He’s also a predictive data engineer at SportsLine who uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times, taking factors like matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account.
This allows him to find the best NBA DFS values and create optimal lineups that he shares only over at SportsLine. They’re a must-see for any NBA DFS player.
On Thursday, McClure highlighted Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as one of his top NBA DFS picks. The result: Gilgeous-Alexander had 22 points, seven assists, seven rebounds and a steal, returning 43.25 points on DraftKings and 42.9 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 to NBA action on Friday and locked in his top daily Fantasy basketball picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.
Top NBA DFS picks for Friday, April 7
One of McClure’s top NBA DFS picks for Friday is Suns guard Cameron Payne ($4,200 on DraftKings and $4,900 on FanDuel). With the Suns locked into the fourth seed of the 2023 NBA playoffs, and with the team on the second night of a back-to-back, Phoenix is sitting Chris Paul as well as Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. Thus, Payne will be one of the primary playmakers and he’s thrived in that role.
