Tonightās schedule is almost an āExpressā format since most of the games are clustered between 8:00 and 9:00. Ā The one outlier will lock FanDuel rosters at 7:00 PM ET when the Pelicans welcome in the Timberwolves and Anthony Davis takes on Karl-Anthony Towns in an intriguing matchup of young big men. Ā At 8:00, the Spurs and Rockets face off in a Texas-sized rivalry while at the same time the Bulls host Damian Lillard and the Blazers. Ā At 8:30, we get the Westbrook vs Curry matchup as the Warriors visit the Thunder for their second game of the season while in a less-flashy Eastern Conference matchup the Bucks host the Pistons. There arenāt any super late games, but there are two 9:30 starts to close out the night featuring the Grizzlies heading to the desert to face the sinking Suns and the Jazz welcoming in the Nets to Salt Lake City.
With those 14Ā teams taking the floor, there is no lack of star power along with a fewĀ nice sleepers to consider. To find the options I think are the best plays for tonight, check out myĀ FanDuel daily picks on the following slides. My goal is to give you the information you need to build your own lineup that can bring home a win for your team tonight. To help you to that goal,Ā youāll find two slides per position in this postāone forĀ high-salary options and one for high-value options. Each slide contains at least two selectionsĀ with extras thrown in where possible. Ā I base each pickĀ on the currentĀ form of each player and the positional matchups each player will face in tonightās game.
At the beginning of 2016, I Ā 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).Ā OnĀ 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 Iām putting together the best of my picks into my lineup for tonightās competition. I suggest you build your own customized team with the players you like the most, but youāre welcome to see my lineups and use them as a place to get started.
