The best sleepers at each position for DraftKings daily fantasy basketball on Thursday, Jan. 21

The NBA was out in full force on Wednesday night as they dominated the middle of the week in the sports world by having 11 games on the schedule. However, the action quiets down just a little bit on Thursday, Jan. 21 when there are only five games on the schedule, which obviously means that 10 teams will be in action. That’s 10 NBA rosters for daily fantasy basketball players to build their DraftKings lineups with and 10 rosters to dig through to try and identify the best sleepers on Thursday in DFS.

On Wednesday with all of those games on the schedule, there were numerous big-time performers throughout the league. Los Angeles Lakers veteran power forward had a big night as the team seems to be showcasing him for trades. Moreover, Orlando Magic point guard Elfrid Payton had a monster night with 21 points, six rebounds, and 10 assists with Victor Oladipo out of the lineup. Chandler Parsons also had a monster night with 30 points and eight rebounds on the night while Shabazz Muhammad had a solid night as well on the bench opposite of Parsons.

The action on Thursday night will get started with two games starting at 8 p.m. ET. The Detroit Pistons will take on the New Orleans Pelicans and the Los Angeles Clippers will go to war with the Cleveland Cavaliers in that timeslot. That is followed up by the Memphis Grizzlies vs. Denver Nuggets at 9 p.m. ET and the Atlanta Hawks facing the Sacramento Kings at 10 p.m. ET. The night will then conclude with the San Antonio Spurs going on the road for a matchup with the Phoenix Suns.
