After a crazy and full night of fantasy basketball last night, the NBA has a handful of games for our DraftKings daily picks for this Saturday.

The NBA gets back into a regular rhythm the next few days after an off day Thursday and a day yesterday when all 30 NBA teams were in action. Tonight, there are five game with ten teams playing followed by eight games tomorrow to close out the weekend. Tonight, the DraftKings competitions start at 7:00 PM ET, and you can see who I think you should consider for your lineup by scrolling through my DraftKings  dally picks on the following slides.

Lineups lock at they typical 7:00 PM ET when two games tip off  featuring the Spurs trying to improve to 10-0 on the road as they face the Wizards and the Knicks and Hornets finishing their back-to-back, home-and-home set in Charlotte.  At 8:00, there’s another rematch of a game from last night as the Heat and Grizzlies meet in Miami while at the same time the Thunder host the Pistons in OKC. At 10:30, the night closes out with the Warriors hosting the Timberwolves at ORACLE Arena in a game that could turn into a blowout since the T-Wolves spent a lot of energy last night in Phoenix. Since every one of the ten teams in cation tonight played yesterday, there could be some interesting rotations and injury situations to watch tonight. I’ll do my best to keep you updated throughout the day and tweak my lineup before tonight’s tipoff if changes are necessary.

There are plenty of matchups to take a look at tonight, and I’ve selected my favorite options on the next few slides for today’s DraftKings 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 DraftKings daily picks, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer DraftKings pricing and scoring.  If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for FanDuel, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on the fantasy basketball hub.
