Get in on the DFS fantasy basketball action tonight with the help of my FanDuel daily picks from tonight’s three big NBA playoff games.

After just one game on the slate for last night, the NBA Playoffs are back to fill up this Friday night with three Game 6’s as teams’ fight to stay alive like the Celtics were unable to do last night in order to force a deciding Game 7.  With three games on tap, we have a full night of DFS fantasy basketball playoff action, so check out my FanDuel daily picks to see who I think deserves a look for your team tonight.

We get things underway at 7:30 PM ET in Indiana where the Raptors will try to eliminate the Pacers and move on to the second round where they will face the winner of the Charlotte-Miami series.  If Charlotte can take care of business tonight on their home floor, they could move on as well in their game starting at 8:00 as game one of the ESPN double-header.  The final game of the night is the only Western Conference series still to be decided as the Blazers look to close out the Clippers at home in Portland and avoid returning to LA for a Game 7.

FanDuel rosters will lock in at 7:30, so make sure you have your team finalized by then.  To see who I think you should consider, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides. My goal each day is to give you the information you need to build your own lineup that can bring home a win for your team. In order to help you find the position and price-point that you need, you’ll find two slides per position in this post–one with high-salary options and one with high-value options. Each slide contains at least two options 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 today’s game.

I rank my picks every morning using stars after each selection to show the strength of the pick. 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 a point-per-dollar basis). 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 competition. I suggest you build your own customized team with the players you like the most, but you’re welcome to check out my lineups and use them as a place to get started.

In my FanDuel daily picks, 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 the 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 also try to keep you up to speed on any late developments that impact fantasy basketball lineups leading up to tipoff.

If you find my picks and analysis helpful and would like to check out my DFS fantasy basketball posts each morning, the easiest way to find the FanDuel daily picks is to drop a bookmark on our fantasy basketball hub or follow on Twitter where I’ll tweet out the links each day when my picks go live.
