Tuesdayās DraftKingsĀ daily picks can help power you to a big night of DFS fantasy basketball with fourĀ NBA games on tap for tonight.
Although it seemed like it, not every team in the NBA played yesterday. Ā With ten games on Martin Luther King Day, there were ten NBA teams that didnāt take the floor, but seven of them (along with New Orleans)will be in action tonight as we get back to work with four games on tonightās schedule for our DFS fantasy basketball enjoyment. As you put together your lineup, check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides to see the players I think will help you succeed tonight.

Tonightās action gets underwayĀ at 7:30 PM ET when the Bucks visit the Heat who are home after a long trip west.Ā At 8:00, the Pelicans finish their back-t0-back as they face the Timberwolves in the Big Easy, and the night wraps up with two games starting at 9:00 as the Suns host the Pacers and the Thunder travel to Denver where Russell Westbrook will be going for his third straight triple-double.Ā The Pelicans are the only one of tonightās eight teams that also played yesterday while the Heat, Timberwolves, and Thunder are on the front side of their back-to-back as they turn around for another game tomorrow.
Fatigue is one factor to consider as you set your lineup for tonight, but there are lots of different ways to dissect tonightās matchups. Ā To see who I like the most, check outĀ my DraftKingsĀ daily picks on the following slides. At each position, youāll find Ā aĀ slide for high-salary options and a slide for high-value options. Each slide contains at least two optionsĀ with a few extras thrown in where possible.Ā I base each pickĀ on the currentĀ form of each player and the positional matchups each player will face in tonightās game.
This month, 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 theĀ short version is āmore stars=more confidence.ā OnĀ the final slide of the post, you can see my recent resultsĀ at each level of confidence.
