This Wednesday, the NBA has ten games featuring a number of familiar foes as teams face each other for the third or fourth time this season.  There should be some great divisional rivalries across the schedule today, and ESPN has a double-header on tap as far as national TV coverage goes.  With 20 teams playing, there are plenty of options to pick from as you select your daily fantasy basketball team.  To check out my top plays of the day, scroll through the following slides which are jam-packed with my DraftKings daily picks for this Wednesday the 13th.

The first three games all start at 7:00 PM ET and feature all Eastern Conference matchups with Hawks-Hornets, Bucks-Wizards, and a battle for New York as the Knicks and Nets meet.  At 8:00, the Pacers and Celtics start on ESPN while the Rockets-Timberwolves, Mavericks-Thunder, and Warriors-Nuggets (9:00) all get underway in three Western Conference matchups shortly after.  In the three West Coast games, the Blazers host the Jazz, the Pelicans visit the Kings, and on ESPN the Clippers host the Heat in the final game of the day at 10:30.

With those 20 teams taking the floor, there are a lots of options for tonight’s DFS competitions. I’ve collected my favorite plays of the day on the following slides in my DraftKings daily picks. There is a slide for high-salary options and a slide for high-value options at each position. On each slide you’ll find at least two players with a few extras thrown in where possible.  I base each pick on the current form of each player and the positional matchups each player will face in tonight’s game.

Since the start of the New 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 the short version is “more stars=more confidence.” On the final slide of the post, you can see my recent results at each level of confidence.  Also on the final slide of the post, you can see how I’m putting together the best of my picks into my lineups for tonight’s contests.
