The NBA has a great nine games tonight, so use my FanDuel daily picks to get your DFS fantasy basketball lineup ready for a fun evening.
On the Eve of the Super Bowl, the NBA has quite a show of its own lineup up with ten games total on this Saturday, February 6. The Blazers-Rockets game serves as the matinee for the day starting at 5:00 PM ET, but the main FanDuel competitions focus on the nine games on tap for tonight, so Iāll be making my FanDuel daily picks from those nine contests.

The nine games tonight start at 7:00 PM ET or later and offer a really nice slate to pick a DFS fantasy basketball team from. Ā At 7:00, the Hornets host WashingtonĀ and the PistonsĀ and Pacers meet in Indiana. At 7:30, two more games get underway including LeBron James and the Cavs trying to bounce back from last nightās tough loss as they face Anthony Davis and the Pelicans. An even uglier loss last night happened to Dallas who was crushed by San Antonio, and theyāll try to bounce back against the Grizzlies at 8:00 while at the same time the T-Wolves host the banged-up Bulls. Ā At 8:30, the Spurs host the Lakers looking to improve to 28-0 at the AT&T Center followed at 9:00 by the Jazz heading to the desert to face the Suns. Ā The biggest game of the night, though, is the final game that tips off at 9:00 PM ET as well. Ā Thatās when the Thunder and the Warriors meet for the first time this season and we get treated to our first of four matchups between Russell Westbrook and Steph Curry.
With 18Ā teams taking the floor, there areĀ plenty of sleepers to go with whatever stars you decide to roll with for this Saturday night.Ā Ā To see who I think are good plays tonight, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.
