Tonight is the last night of full-schedule NBA for nine days, and it’s a gigantic one! There are 12 games on tap for tonight giving us 24 teams worth of players to pick from for tonight’s lineup. With 120 players starting tonight, you might need some tips on some of the best plays, and you can find my favorite options on the following slides in my FanDuel Daily picks.

The ESPN double-header tonight features the Lakers visiting Cleveland and the Blazers hosting the Rockets, but those are far from the only games with compelling storylines.  FanDuel lineups will lock at 7:00 as usual as the Hornets-Pacers, Spurs-Magic, and Kings-76ers all get going in the early window.  At 7:30, Doc Rivers and the Clippers visit TD Garden and the Celtics while the Nets host Memphis in Brooklyn and the Pistons welcome in the Nuggets to the Motor City.  At 8:00 the Bulls take on the Hawks, the Wolves host Toronto, and the Jazz visit the Pelicans followed at 9:00 by the best team in the NBA, the Warriors, visiting one of the worst as they take on the Suns in Phoenix. The Rockets and Blazers are the only game starting after 9:00, so all eyes will turn to that as we sweat our way to the close of a big night of fantasy basketball.

To see all the players I like from those 12 games tonight, 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 (which is every spot with so many options).  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 a point-per-dollar basis). 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.
