Before the big football game tonight, you can get in a nice DFS fantasy basketball fix with four games as “undercards” for tonight’s main event. With eight teams in action, there are several different ways you can build your fantasy basketball lineup, so check out my FanDuel daily picks to see who I think can help you finish in the cash to start your sports Sunday off right.

The first three games tip off at 1:00 PM ET which is when FanDuel lineups will lock for the afternoon contests.  The Celtics are hosting the Kings in what could be one of coach George Karl’s last games, the Nuggets are in NYC to face the Knicks, and the Magic try to snap their three-game losing streak as they host the Hawks. The one game that starts just a little later jumps at 2:00 PM ET in South Beach which where Chris Paul and the Clippers finish their Florda trip with a meeting with Dwyane Wade and the Heat.

With those eight teams giving us a solid pool of players, there are lots of ways to build your lineup.  To see who I think you should target, 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.

At the beginning of 2016, 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 FanDuel pricing and scoring.  If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for DraftKings, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on our fantasy basketball hub.

If you have any questions about my picks for today or any of our Fansided fantasy coverage, you can leave them at the bottom of the page in the comments section.  For an even quicker response, you can find me throughout the day on Twitter @FansidedFantasy. I have some other obligations this morning, but I should be on Twitter from 12:00-1:00 to help you with any last minute adjustments and provide you with any injury updates. Remember at 1:00 the rosters will lock and you will no longer be able to adjust, so check back at least right before lineups lock in for the day.

If you find my picks and analysis helpful and would like to check out my DFS fantasy basketball posts each morning, the easiest way to find the FanDuel daily picks is to drop a bookmark on our fantasy basketball hub or follow on Twitter where I’ll tweet out the links each day when my picks go live.

Let’s let going with today’s FanDuel daily picks on this light Sunday afternoon of NBA acton serving as a precursor to the heavy action later.
