The NBA comes off a busy weekend with just over a month left in the regular season, and it should be another solid week of competition as playoff races start to take shape.  On this Leap Day, there are seven games on the schedule giving us a solid slate of DFS fantasy basketball options to pick from on this Monday.  Check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides to see who I think is set up for success in tonight’s contests.

The action gets underway at 7:00 PM ET which is when your lineup will lock in for the night on FanDuel. There are a pair of games with 7:00 tips featuring four Eastern Conference teams that all played yesterday.  The Wizards host the 76ers while the Cavaliers face the Pacers.  At 7:30 the Jazz are in Boston for an inter-conference game with the Celtics, and the Rockets have a similar matchup in Milwaukee at 8:00.  At 9:00, we shift our focus to the Western Conference as the Nuggets and Grizzlies meet in the Mile High City followed by the Kings and DeMarcus Cousins taking on Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and the Thunder.  In the final game of the night, the Clippers host the Nets at STAPLES Center as Brooklyn continues its trip to the West.

There are plenty of stars in action tonight, and you’ll need to stock your team with the right blend of stars and sleepers to earn your win tonight. To find the options I think are the best plays for tonight, check out my 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 realize that goal, you’ll find two slides per position in this post–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 customized 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. Remember, your entire lineup locks at 7:00 PM ET, so check this post or check in on Twitter  before that time to make sure you can make any last-minute adjustments if players are resting or injured.
