On this Wednesday the 13th, the NBA has double-digit games to fill up your night.  ESPN has a double-header on tap along with plenty of other divisional contests, so there should be plenty of drama and intrigue on tonight’s schedule.  With 20 teams playing there is also a nice deep pool from which to pick your daily fantasy basketball team.  To check out my top picks of the day, scroll through the following slides which are jam-packed with my FanDuel daily picks for Wednesday’s ten games.

The games come in three waves tonight starting once again with a 7:00 PM ET tip-off that will lock all FanDuel rosters.  The first wave of three games are all Eastern Conference matchups with Hawks-Hornets, Bucks-Wizards, and a battle for New York as the Knicks and Nets meet.  In the 8:00 wave, 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.  In the three late games, the Jazz are in Portland, the Pelicans take on the Kings, and ESPN closes out the night with a 10:30 tipoff from LA as the Clippers try to beat the Heat.

With 20 teams taking the floor, there are a ton of choices for tonight’s DFS competitions. I’ve collected my favorite plays of the day on the following slides in my FanDuel 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 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 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.

In this post, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer to FanDuel pricing and scoring.  If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for DraftKings, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on our fantasy basketball hub.

Make sure to check back in the 30 minutes leading up to tipoff 7:00 since FanDuel locks in your entire roster when the first games of the night get underway. I’ll get you all the latest injury news and any lineup updates on Twitter leading up to that 7:00 roster lock and be happy to answer any questions you may have.
