Wednesday night brings a thrilling doubleheader of NBA playoff action, with Game 2 matchups that promise high stakes and even higher fantasy scores. The Knicks face the 76ers at 7 p.m. ET, followed by the Spurs taking on the Timberwolves at 9:30 p.m. ET. If you're building your daily fantasy basketball lineups, you'll want to pay close attention to the stars who lit up the scoreboard in Game 1.

Anthony Edwards surprised many with his aggressive play, rewarding those who trusted him in their NBA DFS lineups. But the true standout of the night—and the most talked-about player in the DFS player pool—was Victor Wembanyama. Despite his team's loss, the rookie sensation stuffed the stat sheet with 11 points, 15 rebounds, and a postseason-record 12 blocks. That kind of production makes him the most expensive option on both DraftKings and FanDuel for Wednesday's slate.

Rostering a high-priced star like Wembanyama means you'll need to find value elsewhere. Other top-tier talents to consider include Jalen Brunson, Joel Embiid, and Julius Randle, but the key to building a winning lineup lies in uncovering those low-cost, high-reward gems. That's where expert analysis comes into play.

Mike McClure, a DFS professional with over $2 million in career winnings, has crunched the numbers using a powerful prediction model that simulates every minute of every game 10,000 times. By factoring in matchups, statistical trends, and injuries, he identifies the best NBA DFS values on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel. His optimal lineups are a must-see for anyone serious about daily fantasy basketball.

For Wednesday, one of McClure's top picks is Sixers forward Paul George, available at $6,400 on DraftKings and $6,700 on FanDuel. The nine-time All-Star led Philadelphia with 17 points in Game 1, despite playing only 26 minutes. Since returning from a 25-game suspension, George has averaged 19.4 points on 48% shooting—a noticeable improvement over his pre-suspension numbers of 16 points on 42% shooting. Some players just have a knack for rising to the occasion, and George is proving to be one of them this postseason.
