James Harden and the Rockets get their third look at the Warriors as part of tonight’s five-game NBA schedule. The rematch of last year’s Western Conference Finals should produce a high-scoring nightcap to the TNT double-header which bring two of tonight’s five games to the national stage. Whether you want to go heavy on those games or focus on a few of the players from the “outlier games, my FanDuel Daily picks can help you fill out your DFS fantasy basketball lineup for tonight.

We get an extra hour to finalize our rosters tonight since the first games don’t tip off until 8:00 PM ET. At that time, the Bucks host Boston, the Knicks play their first game since Derek Fisher was fired as they host the Wizards, and the Spurs and Heat face off in South Beach in the early game on TNT. At 8:30, the Mavericks host the Jazz, and then at 10:30 in the nightcap the Warriors look to improve to 24-0 at ORACLE Arena as they host the Rockets.

To see all the players I like from the ten teams taking the floor tonight, 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.

At the beginning of 2016, 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. I may be in and out throughout the day on Twitter today since I’ll be digging out from the latest snowstorm to bury New England, but I’ll make sure I’m online from 7:00-8:00 for any last-minute lineup adjustments.  I’ll keep you up to date on any injury or availability updates throughout the day on Twitter as well.
