It’s a ten-team Thursday night for the NBA, and you can get your DFS fantasy basketball team on the floor with the help of today’s FanDuel Daily picks.

After 19 games in the last two days, the NBA takes a moment to catch its breath before plunging into another busy weekend. There are five solid matchups on the floor tonight highlighted by a nice double-header on TNT. To see who on the floor tonight deserves a look in your DFS fantasy basketball contests tonight, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.

Lineups will lock tonight at their typical 7:00 PM ET even with a slightly reduced schedule. We start tonight in Florida where the 1-3 Magic host the 2-3 Kings who are playing their third game in four nights and have another back-to-back coming Saturday and Sunday. At 8:00, the TNT double-header starts with the Celtics in Cleveland to take on the undefeated Cavaliers. The other undefeated team in the NBA is in the late TNT game as the 4-0 Thunder take on the Warriors in Golden State. There are two other games on tap for tonight that aren’t on TNT but still offer nice fantasy options as the Nuggets vision the T-Wolves and the Pacers head to Milwaukee to face the Bucks..

To help you sort through the ten teams choices, I’ve selected my top plays for my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides. My goal ‘each day is to give you the information you need to build your own customized lineup to get you a win however you participate in DFS contests. In order to help you find what you need, I’ve separated my picks by position and price. You’ll find two slides per position–the first slide will feature the best high-salary options followed by some high-value options which cost less but still offer solid returns. Each slide contains at least two options with extras thrown in where possible.

I rank my picks for each contest using stars after each explanation to show the relative 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 personal 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.

Just a reminder that 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 or are looking for any updates as the games get closer, follow @FansidedFantasy on Twitter. I’ll also use that account to tweet out links when we add new stories to the fantasy basketball hub.

With those introductory comments out of the way, it’s time to dive right in to today’s FanDuel daily picks.
