After a night of high-scoring fun last night, there is another whole set of NBA games on tap for Saturday night although the options aren’t quite as diverse as last night’s 11-game slate. Tonight, there are five games on the schedule to use to build your roster for daily league fantasy basketball, and to help you target the right players in the right matchups check out my FanDuel Daily Picks for the day.

Tonight’s games feature lots of value plays as many of the less successful teams are on the floor tonight. To start us off at 7:00 PM, the Knicks who are looking for their fourth straight win will take on the Hornets who are trying to recover from getting destroyed in Cleveland last night. The Pistons visit the Bucks at 7:30 in a matchup of point guards who were traded for each other as Brandon Knight takes on Brandon Jennings. At 8:00, the Grizzlies host the Sixers in a game loaded with blowout potential. The Nets visit the Jazz at 9:00, and the game with the biggest names is the nightcap as the Blazers host the Wizards out West.
In the next few slides, you can find players from those 10 teams who I think are in matchups and current form to help your fantasy team tonight. Each slide focuses on one position with a pair of high-salary studs as well as a pair of high-value options. The “value” plays are less expensive, but they should still be able to provide solid production. Depending on your strategy and tolerance for risk, you can go with a safer lineup that is more balanced or go high-risk with some inexpensive options which will leave you the cap space to land some of the big names on the board.
In all of the five positional slides, salary and fantasy point references are based on FanDuel’s scoring system and salary structure unless otherwise noted. There are many options to choose from for your daily basketball league, so to help you if you’re playing DraftKings you can find my lineup for both FanDuel and DraftKings on the final slide of the post.
