Check out my DraftKings daily picks for the best plays from tonightās four featured NBA games which provide us a solid slate of options forĀ DFS fantasy basketball.
Last night was a big, crazy night in the NBA with 11 games keeping the action pumping all night long. Ā Tonight, there are fewer games but still plenty of drama as four games look to fill up the night with fantasy basketball goodness. TNT will pick up a pair of those games for national TV coverage, but all four offer some nice options to consider for your fantasy team. Ā To see the optionsĀ I think are most set up for success tonight, check out my DraftKingsĀ daily picks on the following slides.

Tonightās contests begin an hour before TNTās first game starts at 8:00 with a 7:00 PM ET tip-off in Philadelphia asĀ the Hawks visitĀ the 76ers. At 8:00, TNT featuresĀ the Celtics and Bulls from the United Center in Chicago. Ā Boston is one of two teams playing for the second day in a row as theyāre joined by the Jazz who complete their back-to-back in Houston in the other 8:00 game. Ā The lastĀ game of the night gets underway on TNT at10:30 in SacramentoĀ Lakers visit the Kings who are just back after a quick two-game swing through OKC and Dallas.
With those eight teams in action, there are some good playsĀ to pick from as you assemble your roster. Iāve assembledĀ some of my favorite plays of the dayĀ for my FanDuel daily picks which you can find on the following slides. There is aĀ slide for high-salary options and a slide for high-value options at each position, and on each slide youāll find at leastĀ two playersĀ with a few extras thrown in wherever possible. I base my picksĀ on the currentĀ form of each player and the positional matchups each player will face in tonightās game. As a new feature in 2016, I also have started to rank my picks using stars after each selection. For a full explanation of the rating system check out the last slide of this post, but the quickĀ version is more stars=more confidence. Ā Also on the final slide of the post, you can see how Iām putting together the best of my picks into my two lineups for tonightāsĀ contests.
