There are 20 teams getting ready to take the floor tonight in the NBA with some great matchups to check out. The NBA always fills up Wednesday night with lots of nice games and tonight’s slate includes some nice stars and sleepers with some games that could turn into high-scoring contests and some nice mano a mano action. To check out all the best DFS fantasy basketball plays from around the Association, scroll through the following slides where you’ll find all of today’s DraftKings daily picks.

The ten games tonight are spread pretty evenly throughout the evening with only the Kings and Sixers starting at 7:00 when lineups will lock in for the night. At 7:30, two more games get started as the Raptors host the Grizzlies and the Celtics host the Pistons in the first game of the NBATV double-header. At 8:00, the Lakers visit the Bulls, the Knicks are in Minnesota to take on the T-Wolves, and John Wall and Russell Westbrook go head-to-head in OKC. At 8:30, the Spurs visit Dallas followed at 9:00 by the Heat traveling to Denver and the Hawks landing in Phoenix. The conclusion of NBATV’s double-header and the final game of the night is in the Pacific Northwest where where the Blazers welcome in the Pacers. Just a quick note that the Pistons, Lakers, and Spurs are on the second half of back-to-back’s while the Mavs, Grizzlies, and Heat are playing tonight with another game on the schedule for tomorrow.

With so many options to pick from, there are a lot of players to check out for tonight. 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 to DraftKings pricing and scoring.
