It’s a pretty light night in the NBA this Tuesday with a handful of games lined up for this evening.  Even with just ten teams in action, there are still plenty of ways to get your fantasy basketball lineup together so check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides to see who I think can help you finish in the money tonight.

We tip things off tonight at 7:30 at Madison Square Garden where the Knicks host the Celtics in their third meeting of the season.  At 8:00 on NBATV, the Rockets and James Harden take on the recently resurgent Dwyane Wade and the Heat. At 9:00, the Suns host the Raptors in Earl Watson’s debut as interim head coach after the firing of Jeff Hornacek. Toronto is one of two teams playing for the second night in a row as the Bucks also look to bounce back from a loss last night as they head to Portland to face the Blazers.  In the final game of the night, Minnesota is in LA to face the Lakers at 10:30.

With those ten teams taking the floor, there are some good stars and sleepers to consider for tonight.  To see my favorite options,check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides. You’ll find two slides per position–one for high-salary options and one for high-value options. Each slide contains at least two selections with 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.

Last month, I  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 in short, more stars means more confidence. On the final slide of the post, you can see my results for the month of January 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 lineup for today’s contests.
