The NBA starts March with six games on the DFS fantasy basketball schedule, and my FanDuel daily picks can help you build your lineup for tonight.

The NBA’s version of March Madness doesn’t usually have Cinderella runs or Dick Vitale, but there will be plenty of drama throughout the month as teams get into playoff form and try to secure playoff position.  Tonight, there are six games on the schedule giving us a dozen teams to pick from as we build our DFS fantasy basketball teams. To see the players who I think are in a place to succeed, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.

Tonight’s games get started at 7:00 PM ET with a matchup between the Suns and the Hornets in Charlotte which will lock everyone’s roster for the evening.  Hopefully, we have a clear status on Steph Curry at that point but if he remains a “gametime decision” he’ll be hard to count on since the Warriors don’t start until the final game of the night at 10:30 when they host the Hawks.  In between the Hornets early game and the Warriors late game, Damian Lillard and the Blazers take on the Knicks at 7:30, the Heat and Bulls face off on South Beach, and the Mavericks welcome in the Magic.  At the same time the Warriors host the Hawks (10:30 PM ET), there is one other game as 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 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. I’ll keep you up to date throughout the day on Twitter with all the latest injury and availability news, so that when rosters lock at 7:00 you don’t get caught pulling in a zero.

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 Tuesday, and get this month off to a good start.
