The NBA gets the new month underway with a dozen teams taking the floor tonight in six games spread across the country.  The 12 teams have a nice mix of stars and sleepers which creates a solid pool for DFS fantasy basketball players to choose their teams from. If you’re looking for a good place to start your team tonight check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides.

More from Atlanta Hawks

The first games starts at 7:00 PM ET with a matchup between the Suns and the Hornets in Charlotte.  At 7:30, Damian Lillard and the Blazers take on the Knicks while the Heat and Bulls face off on South Beach. At 8:30, the Mavericks host the Magic in a rematch of a game just after the All Star break. There are two games that tip-off in the late slot at 10:30 PM featuring Al Horford and the Hawks traveling to Oakland to take on the Warriors while the Nets continue their trip out West with a game against the Lakers. There is value to be had if you know where to look, so make sure you check out all the matchups for tonight.

To find the players I think are the best options for tonight, check out my DraftKings 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.
