My DraftKings daily picks can help you build a great lineup for tonight’s busy 11-game, Wednesday night NBA schedule.

It’s a jam-packed night of basketball this Wednesday, February 3 in the NBA with no less than 11 games on tap for tonight. ESPN has a nice double-header including a possible track meet in DC, and the King and the Cavs will look to continue their improvement as they head to Charlotte for an early matchup.  As you assemble your DFS fantasy basketball team from the 22 teams in action tonight, check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides for my top plays of the night.

More from Charlotte Hornets

We get rolling at 7:00 PM ET tonight with a pair of games as Charlotte hosts the Cavs and the Sixers welcome in the Hawks. At 7:30, Boston completes its back-to-back against the Pistons at TD Garden while at the same time the Nets take on the Pacers down in Brooklyn.  At 8:00, ESPN’s national coverage tips off in DC as the Wizards host the Warriors in what should be a high-scoring and hopefully entertaining matchup.  Also at 8:00, the Thunder and Magic tip-off in OKC.  Two more games start at 8:30 featuring Mavericks-Heat and Pelicans-Spurs while at 9:00 the Jazz take on the Nuggets as Utah looks to pick up its fourth straight win.  In the late games, the Bulls are in Sacramento where DeMarcus Cousins’ status is still up in the air, and in the final game of the night the T-Wolves look to avoid dropping back-to-back games in LA as they take on the Clippers at STAPLES Center.

There are so many ways to build your fantasy team for tonight with 22 teams of players stocking a well-filled pool of options.  There are some big-name stars as well as some sleepers that I really like for tonight.  To see my top options,check out my DraftKings 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 January at each level of confidence. I’m transforming my internal tracking system a bit, so February numbers won’t be available until tomorrow. 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.
