The NBA has had a great week so far, but tonight takes things to a whole new level with ten games on tap to fill up this Wednesday.  With 20 teams in action tonight as playoff races start to shape up, there are plenty of options to like for DFS fantasy basketball. Check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides for the picks I like the most tonight.

The action gets underway at 7:00 as the Cavs try to bounce back against the Hornets and the Pacers welcome in the Knicks to Indiana in another Hickory Night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.  At 7:30, the Warriors go for their 51st win as they take on the Heat, the Pistons host the 76ers, and the Raptors welcome the Timberwolves to “the North.” At 8:00, the ESPN double-header tips off with the Bulls hosting the Wizards while at the same time the new-look Grizzlies host the still-struggling Lakers.  As the attention moves to the Western Conference for the last three games of the night, the Mavericks take on the Thunder in what would currently be a round 1 playoff matchup (3 vs 6). To wrap up the night at 10:30, the Clippers host the Nuggets at STAPLES while the Kings complete their back-to-back as they host the Spurs.

With those 20 teams representing 100 starters taking the floor, there are a ton of options to choose from for your fantasy basketball team. To see who I like for tonight, check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides where you’ll find my favorite plays for tonight. My goal is to give you the information you need to build your own lineup that can bring home the cash tonight. In this post, 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 to show the strength of the pick. 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 tonight’s competition. I suggest you build your own team with the players you like the most, but you’re welcome to see my lineups and use them as a place to get started.

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.

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. One of the keys to succeeding at DFS fantasy basketball is checking back before the games start to avoid taking the killer-zero from an injured or resting player.  I’ll do my best to get you all the latest injury news and availability updates on Twitter and definitely let you know if I have to adjust my lineups.

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 DraftKings 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.

It’s time to get started with my DraftKings daily picks on this busy night of fantasy basketball.
