With the regular season winding down and only 10 days until the start of the 2022 NBA Play-In Tournament, NBA daily Fantasy players who keep their eyes peeled have the opportunity to snag role players in line for lots of minutes on the cheap.
The Clippers and Bucks both sat Giannis Antetokounmpo and Paul George in a head-to-head showdown last night, indicating that they are confident in their playoff position. That allowed Robert Covington to score a career-high 43 points for the Los Angeles Lakers, resulting in 70.5 points on DraftKings for just $4,300.
However, finding those affordable possibilities is an NBA DFS approach designed to allow you to buy trustworthy upper-echelon talent, and the NBA DFS player pool for Saturday night is full of motivated superstars. With the play-in coming, the Nets and Hawks are both 40-37 and jockeying for position, so Kyrie Irving and Trae Young both have a lot of upside in a head-to-head showdown. Check out SportsLine’s Mike McClure’s NBA DFS advice, player rankings, stacking, and top daily Fantasy basketball picks before making your NBA DFS decisions.

McClure picked Nuggets center Nikola Jokic as one of his top NBA DFS picks on DraftKings and FanDuel on Friday. Jokic scored 38 points, grabbed 19 rebounds, and dished out eight assists for a total of 75.25 points on DraftKings and 71.8 points on FanDuel. Anyone who had them in their lineups had a good chance of having a profitable day.
McClure has now turned his focus to the NBA DFS slate for Saturday, April 2, and has made his top daily fantasy basketball choices.
Saturday, April 2nd’s top NBA DFS choices
Kevin Durant, the rostering Nets forward ($11,000 on DraftKings and $10,800 on FanDuel), is one of McClure’s top NBA DFS selections. The 12-time NBA all-star has missed 27 games this season due to a knee injury, but he returned on March 3 and has seven 30-point games in 14 games since his return, including a 53-point outburst against the Knicks on March 13.
This season, Durant is averaging 29.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game, but in March, he averaged 30.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 7.3 assists per game. Durant has averaged 31.5 points per game while shooting 59.5 percent from the field in two games versus the Hawks this season, and he’s already scored at least 50 points in five of his past six games on FanDuel and DraftKings.

Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell ($8,400 on DraftKings and $8,100 on FanDuel) is another player in McClure’s best NBA DFS lineup. Mitchell is now a three-time All-Star in his fifth season in the league, averaging 26.1 points, 5.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game while shooting a career-high 45.4 percent from the field.
Mitchell tallied 29 points, seven assists, and only one turnover in a lopsided victory over the Lakers on Thursday night. The Jazz is chasing a top-four spot in the Western Conference, and are only 1.5 games behind the fourth-place Mavericks and two games behind the third-place Warriors, whom they face on Saturday. So expect Mitchell to play a full 40 minutes on Saturday against a Golden State team that has dropped four straight.
For Saturday, April 2nd, here’s how to set your NBA DFS lineups.
McClure is also looking for a player who could put up big numbers on Saturday due to a favorable matchup. This pick could mean the difference between winning and losing your tournaments and cash games.
