There is no shortage of options for DFS fantasy basketball today as the NBA continues a busy start to the month of March.  Tonight’s schedule is a little early-heavy and includes a solid eleven matchups including a double-header of nice games on ESPN. The marquee game of the night features the Clippers and the Thunder in the late matchup at 10:30 which will be the game everyone turns their attention to for the final stats of the night.  For the best fantasy options from that game and the rest of tonight’s schedule, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.

Lineups will lock on FanDuel when we get started with two games at 7:00 PM ET as the Hornets visit the 76ers and the Magic host the Bulls in a pair of Eastern Conference matchups.  At 7:30, two teams from the Western Conference visit Eastern Conference opponents as the Blazers are in Boston and the Raptors tangle with the Jazz in Toronto.  At 8:00, the Spurs host the Pistons in the first ESPN game while at the same time four other games get started including Pelicans @ Rockets, Kings @ Grizzlies, Pacers @ Bucks, and Wizards @ Timberwolves. After that flurry of activity, there are only two games left as the Nuggets and Lakers meet up in Denver at 9:00 followed by the big game of the night at 10:30 as Russell Westbrook and the Thunder clash with Chris Paul and the Clippers.

There is no shortage of options for today, but you’ll need to check each matchup for players who are set up for success. To see 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 do my best to get you all the injury and availability updates throughout the day and focus on answering any questions in the last hour leading up to tip-off at 7:00 PM. At that point, on FanDuel there is nothing more to do but watch since late-swapping is still not available which has burned almost everyone at one point or another.

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.

It’s time to start my FanDuel daily picks for this Wednesday by looking at the big-name PG which of course will mean starting with the most intriguing matchup of the night out West in LA.
