This Wednesday is going to be a busy one in the NBA with 11 games on the schedule including a nice double-header on ESPN. Whether your focused on your local team’s game, watching the national coverage, or just surfing around on League Pass, there will be plenty of hoops to take in tonight.  As you build your DFS fantasy basketball roster from this evening’s 22 teams, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides to find the players I think you should target for tonight.

The busy night starts at 7:00 PM ET with a pair of games that will lock in everyone’s rosters on FanDuel for the night. The two 7:00 games feature Charlotte hosting the Cavs and the Sixers welcoming in the Hawks. At 7:30, Boston completes its back-to-back against the Pistons at TD Garden while at the same time the Nets take on the Pacers in Brooklyn.  At 8:00, the national coverage tips off in DC as the Wizards host the Warriors in what should be a high-scoring, entertaining matchup.  Also at 8:00, the Thunder and Magic tip-off in OKC.  Two more games start at 8:30 featuring Mavericks-Heat and Pelicans-Spurs while at 9:00 the Jazz take on the Nuggets as Utah looks to pick up its fourth straight win.  In the late games, the Bulls are in Sacramento where DeMarcus Cousins’ status is still up in the air followed by the final game of the night as the T-Wolves look to avoid dropping back-to-back games in LA as they take on the Clippers at STAPLES Center.

With so many options for tonight, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of possibilities that are available.  There are some big-name stars as well as some sleepers that I really like for tonight.  To see my top options,check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides. You’ll find two slides per position–one for high-salary options and one for high-value options. Each slide contains at least two selections with extras thrown in where possible.  I base each pick on the current form of each player and the positional matchups each player will face in tonight’s game.

Last month, I  started to rank my picks using stars after each selection. For a full explanation of the rating system, check out the last slide of this post, but in short, more stars means more confidence. On the final slide of the post, you can see my recent results at each level of confidence. Also on the final slide of the post, you can see how I’m putting together the best of my picks into my lineup for today’s contests.

In this post, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer to FanDuel pricing and scoring.  If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for DraftKings, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on our fantasy basketball hub.

If you have any questions about my picks for today or any of our Fansided fantasy coverage, you can leave them at the bottom of the page in the comments section.  For an even quicker response, you can find me throughout the day on Twitter @FansidedFantasy. Remember, FanDuel still doesn’t support late-switching so whatever you have as your roster at 7:00 PM ET is your lineup for the night.  As a result, I’ll make sure to get you the latest injury news and any lineup update leading up to the two 7:00 games.
