After a couple of slower nights to start the week, the NBA is back to a full schedule to help us over this “hump day.” There are 20 teams in action tonight as playoff races start to shape up and contenders separate themselves from pretenders.  The ten games tonight give us a solid slate of options for DFS fantasy basketball, so check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides for the picks I like the most tonight.

The first two games of the night start at 7:00 PM ET which is once again when FanDuel rosters will lock for the night in the main competition.  At 7:00, the Cavaliers are back in action looking to bounce back from their loss to Detroit as they host the Charlotte Hornets, and the Pacers host the Knicks 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 play for the second night in a row as they take on the Spurs.

With those 20 teams taking the floor, there are a ton of options to choose from. I’ve tried to keep my choices on the next few slides to a minimum while also giving you the information on the players that I think are set up for success. Check out my FanDuel 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 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. One of the keys to succeeding at DFS fantasy basketball is checking back in just before the rosters lock to make sure you’re doing all you can to avoid the killer-zero from an injured or resting player.  I’ll get you all the latest injury news and availability updates in the final hour leading up to the 7:00 tipoff on Twitter and let you know if I have to adjust my lineups at all.

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 get rolling with my FanDuel daily picks for this Wednesday starting with the best of the high-priced Point Guards.
