So what will it be for you tonight? The Beard or The Brow? Or maybe you’re thinking about a double-PG stack of Lillard and Lowry?  There are lots of options to consider as you put together your fantasy basketball team for tonight’s action.  Find out what players I think will set you up for success in my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides.

The four NBA games get started tonight at 7:00 PM ET tipoff as the Knicks head to the Motor City to face the Pistons.  TNT starts its coverage with that game before picking up the Lakers in New Orleans taking on the Pelicans at 9:30 for the late game.  The two games not in the national spotlight also have compelling storylines. At 9:00, the Suns try to get Earl Watson his first win as interim head coach as they host James Harden and the Rockets, and at 10:00, Kyle Lowry and Damian Lillard face off as the Raptors visit the Blazers in Portland.

With those eight teams providing a solid group of players to pick from, there are several good plays to consider for your fantasy basketball team. To see who I’m looking at as good plays tonight, 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 recent results 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.

In this post, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer to DraftKings pricing and scoring.  If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for FanDuel, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on our fantasy basketball hub.
