The NBA leaves Thanksgiving Day for football, but before the collective day off tomorrow there are 13 games on tonight’s schedule. With only four teams not in action, there are a ton of options if you are looking to get in a DFS fantasy basketball feast before tomorrow’s heaping helping of turkey with a side of football. As you build your lineup tonight, make sure to check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides to see who makes the most sense at their assigned salary.

With the so many options tonight, I’ll keep my comments for each selection a little briefer than normal. You’ll need to finish up your lineup by 7:00 PM ET which is when the first five games of the night start. Two more games tip off at 7:30 followed by one every 30 minutes from 8:00-9:30. The final two games of the night are at 10:30 and feature some of the biggest fantasy stars one the board with the Warriors hosting the Laker sand the Thunder visiting the Kings. Other notable matchups include the Pelicans hosting the Timberwolves, the Rockets taking on Toronto, and the Spurs visiting Charlotte.

With no games tomorrow, no team is on the front half of a back-to-back, but it is worth noting that the Hawks, Nuggets, Lakers, Pelicans, Thunder, and Blazers are all playing for the second consecutive day.

There are lots of good matchups to attack tonight, so I’ve put together my favorite fantasy 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.
