Most of the games tonight start at 8:00 when a whopping five games get underway giving turbo players a good slate of options. Ā If you are planning to play the full nightās schedule, the action gets underway at 7:00 PM ET as the Wizards host the Raptors followed Ā at 7:30 as the Nets and Magic get underway in Brooklyn. The national TV coverage on ESPN picks up at 8:00 focusing on the Cavs in Minnesota to face the Timberwolves. Ā At 8:30 and 9:30 are a pair of inter-conference games as the Spurs host the Knicks and the Suns try to beat the Heat in Phoenix. Ā At 10:00, it looks like the Warriors will have Steph CurryĀ as they take on the Blazers before the last game of the day gets going on ESPN featuring the Thunder and the Lakers who are getting a second straight night of national coverage.
With so many options to choose from, donāt get overwhelmed by the sheer number of possibilities, but focus on a few matchups you should be able to exploit. Iāve assembledĀ some of my favorite plays of the dayĀ for my DraftKingsĀ 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.
This year, 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 in short the more stars that are after a playerās analysis the more confidence I have in the pick. Iāll be including the results of my selections on the final slide of this post soon once I have a solid sample size to analyze. Ā Also on the final slide of the post, you can see how Iām putting together the best of my picks into my lineups for tonightāsĀ contests.
