My DraftKingsĀ daily picks can help you build your DFS fantasy basketball for tonightās five games on a star-studded Saturday schedule.
The NBA is back in primetime tonight with ABCās Saturday night matchup. Ā Itās another great game for their spotlight as they get the Cavs and Spurs meeting in Cleveland. Ā Thatās just one ofĀ seven NBA games this Saturday, but for the purposes of this post, Iāll be picking my DraftKingsĀ daily picks from the five games on tonightās schedule. Ā With ten teams to pick from, there are some good stars and sleepers to check out on the following slides.

The Cavs and Spurs are actually the finalĀ game of the night even though they only start at 8:30 PM ET. Ā The earlier options in the main DraftKings competitionĀ start at 7:00 when thePacers host the Nuggets and the Nets visit New Orleans to take on the injury-depleted Pelicans. Two more games tip off at 8:00 in Houston and Memphis where where the Rockets host John Wall and the Wizards while the Grizz host DeMarcus Cousins and the Kings. Ā Kawhi and LeBron are just a few of the stars taking the floor tonight joined by Wall, Cousins, James Harden, and Paul George. Ā Anthony Davis is listed as questionable for the Pelicans game, so its unclear at this point if heāll be joining the rest of the galaxy of stars in action tonight.
If you stock your fantasy team with stars, youāll need to get some solid sleepers in your DFS fantasy basketballĀ lineups tonight.Ā To see who I like the most, check out my DraftKingsĀ daily picks on the following slides.
