More from DraftKings

The first game of the night will lock DraftKings rosters in place at 7:00 PM ET as the Lakers make their annual trip to DC to face the Wizards. At 8:00, TNT’s double-header starts with the Hawks heading to Houston to face Dwight Howard’s former team the Rockets. The nationally televised double-header wraps up with another version of the Clippers-Warriors matchup at 10:30 PM while the other game tonight features the rising Sixers completing their back-to-back in Texas by heading to San Antonio to face the Spurs at 8:30. As you look at the schedule and matchups for tonight, remember that the Hawks, Warriors, Clippers, and 76ers are playing for the second night in a row and the Rockets and Lakers will turn around and play another game tomorrow.

To skip ahead to today’s DraftKings daily picks jump ahead to the next slide, but here are a couple quick reminders before we tip things off. In this post each day, there are a two slides per position. The first slide focuses on the high-salary options (usually 6K+) while the second slide focuses on the cheaper plays who bring high value (under 6K). Each pick is given a rating of 1-5 stars based on my confidence level in the pick (on a points-per-dollar basis). More stars means more confidence with one-star players having the least confidence and five-star players being “must-play” locks.

As I remind my readers every day, the design of these picks each day isn’t to give you a lineup to copy and paste, but to help you have the info to make your own best and well-informed decisions. DFS fantasy basketball does include some guessing, and with the info on the following slides you should be able to make your guesses as “educated” as possible. I do include my own personal lineup on the last slide, but you should build your lineup with the players you like can cheer on tonight. For your information, my lineup is designed for lower-risk contests like double-up or small-field competitions not for GPP tournaments.

To keep up with all of FanSided’s DFS NBA coverage head over to the fantasy basketball hub where each day you can find a post like this tailored for DraftKings as well as one specifically designed for usage on FanDuel. In this post, all salary and “fantasy points” references are to DraftKings scoring system and salaries.
