A pair of second-round Game 2s in the 2026 NBA playoffs comprise the Wednesday NBA schedule with Knicks vs. 76ers at 7 p.m. ET and Spurs vs. Timberwolves at 9:30 p.m. ET. Anthony Edwards was surprisingly active in Game 1 and surely rewarded any daily Fantasy basketball managers who inserted him into NBA DFS lineups. But the star of that contest, despite the loss, and the star of the NBA DFS player pool was Victor Wembanyama with 11 points, 15 rebounds, and a postseason record of 12 blocks.
He's the most expensive player on both DraftKings and FanDuel for Wednesday, so if you roster him, then you'll have to cut costs elsewhere. Other top players to consider for your NBA DFS strategy include Jalen Brunson, Joel Embiid and Julius Randle. Finding low-cost, high-reward options to pair alongside these stars will be essential to fielding a winning Wednesday NBA DFS lineup.
