It’s a monster night tonight in the NBA with just eight teams not in action as 11 games tip off across the country.  Whether you’re in one of FanDuel’s Wednesday night leagues or just looking for your piece of a tournament or double-up, there are a ton of options to consider in tonight’s jam-packed night on the hardwoods. To see where I think there is value to be found, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.

You’ll need to finalize your selections before lineups lock tonight at 7:00 PM ET. Five games get going with that early tip time including the first game of ESPN’s double-header which is the first meeting of the season between the two New York teams as the Nets visit the Knicks. Four more games make up the second wave of games that start between 7:30 and 9:30 which is when the Spurs host the Rockets for the second ESPN game of the night. The last two games of the evening tip off at 10:30 as the Blazers take on the Clippers and the Warriors welcome in the Mavericks. It’s worth noting that the Hawks, Nets, Mavs, T-Wolves, Suns, and Blazers are all finishing back-to-back sets. The Bulls and Warriors have a game tonight with a second game tomorrow.

To help you sort through the plethora of options from the 22 teams in action, I’ve put together my favorite plays on the next few slides in my FanDuel daily picks. 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 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.

There are tons of options to get to, so let’s jump right in to tonight’s  FanDuel daily picks.
