The NBA has a slate of 10 games in tonight’s DFS fantasy basketball competitions. Get your team in the game with FanSided’s FanDuel daily picks.

The NBA has 10 games going on Wednesday night, with line-ups locking at 7:00 p.m. ET with the Thunder at the Magic and the Hawks at the 76ers. Three games tip thirty minutes later, with the Hornets at the Raptors, the Bucks at the Celtics and the Heat at the Knicks. At 8:00 the Mavericks tip at the Pelicans, and the Pacers are at the Grizzlies. At 9:30 the Warriors are at the Spurs, then an hour later the night-cap games are the Wizards at the Clippers and the Jazz at the Kings.

Some storylines of interest include “T-Dub Senior” Russell Westbrook (averaging a triple-double on the season) schooling “T-Dub Junior” Elfrid Payton (four triple-doubles last 11 games); will DeMarcus Cousins be able to go when the Pelicans get back on the court?

The marquee match-up pits the Warriors against a fellow Western Conference power for the second night in a row, facing the No. 2 Spurs right after dispatching the No. 3 Rockets, John Wall and Chris Paul face off in a point guard battle of rhyming last names, Rudy Gobert tries to continue his fantasy explosions against a terrible Kings frontline and two of the most unique superstars in the NBA face-off with the Greek Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo going to Boston to face tiny phenom, Isaiah Thomas. Should be quite the Wednesday night with lots of storylines around that will help determine the fantasy fortunes for tonight.

My favorite plays of the day can be found on the following slides in FanSided’s FanDuel daily picks. Each day in order to offer a variety of price points at each position, you can find two slides for each position–one for high-salary options and one for high-value options. Each pick is ranked on a scale of 1-5 stars to indicate the confidence in the pick. The final slide of this post has more detail on what each level means, but in short, more stars means more confidence in the selection on a points-per-dollar basis.

Important note, every day the goal of this post is not to give you a copy-and-paste lineup. Instead, each selection is given while highlighting the factors you need to consider when building a customized lineup for yourself. If you want to see an example lineup, you can find it on the final slide of the post, but I suggest you adjust your lineup to fit your personal taste.

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 FanDuel as well as one specifically designed for usage on DraftKings.  In this post, all salary and “fantasy points” references are to FanDuel scoring system and salaries.

Let’s take a look at your best options for both studs and value players at each position.
