There are eight NBA games on tap for this Wednesday,Ā January 27 which gives youĀ a good chance to play DFS Fantasy basketball with the help of my FanDuel daily picks.
The NBA has eight games to get us over the hump this week with nice matchups across the schedule tonight including a rare revenge-game for the Warriors, the 76ers looking to make it two straight, and the Clippers trying to play through the Blake Griffin distraction. Ā Another thing that makes tonightās games compelling is that there are some great DFS fantasy basketball optionsĀ available for tonight that you can find on my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.

The eight games on tap tonight start at 7:00 PM ET which is when FanDuel rosters will get locked down for the whole night. Ā The only game that starts at that time is the Suns traveling to Cleveland to take on LeBron and the Cavs after losing last night to the lowly 76ers. Ā At 7:30, the Sixers will look to make it two in a row as they travel to Detroit to face the Pistons while at the same time the Celtics host the Nuggets. Ā At 8:00, the ESPN double-header gets underway with the Rockets and Ā Spurs meeting in San Antonio while the Thunder-Timberwolves and Clippers-Hawks games also have an 8:00 start. At 9:00, the Hornets continue their western trip as they take on the Jazz in Utah, and the capstone of the night is the Warriors looking to avenge one of their four losses on the season as they host the Mavericks tonight in Oakland after Dallas barely edged the Lakers last night.
Normally Wednesdayās are even more jam-packed, but even with just 16 teams in action there are still plenty of ways to build your DFS fantasy basketball lineup. To see who I like tonight, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides. Youāll find two slides per positionāone forĀ high-salary options and one for high-value options.
