The first game of the night tips off at 7:00 PM ET giving us our typical roster lock time on FanDuel. Ā There is only one early game, and that comes to us from DC as the Wizards host the Raptors. Ā At 7:30 the Nets and Magic get underway in Brooklyn followed by the majority of the games in a five-game wave at 8:00. The national TV coverage starts at 8:00 focusing on the Cavs in Minnesota to face the Timberwolves. Ā At 8:30 and 9:30 are a pair of interconfertnce games as the Spurs host the Knicks and the Suns try to beat the Heat. Ā At 10:00 it looks like the Warriors will have Steph CurryĀ as they take on the Blazers before the dynamic duo above lead the Thunder into LA in the final game of the day which tips off on ESPN at 10:30 PM ET.
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 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. 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 player the more confidence I have in the pick. Ā Also on the final slide of the post, you can see how Iām putting together the best of my picks into my lineupĀ for tonightāsĀ contests.
