There are good fantasy options in all four games tonight, so check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides to see the players I think are set up to help you tonight.

The action starts tonightĀ at 7:30 on the other end of the continentĀ from the LeBron-Kobe final chapter. At 7:30, we get a possible playoff preview as the currently-#5 Hawks visit the currently-#2 Raptors in a niceĀ Eastern Conference game. The TNT coverage gets underway with the first of its two interconfertnce gamesĀ at 8:00 as the Spurs host the Bulls in San Antonio followed Ā by Lebron and the Cavs finishing their back-to-back with a matchup at STAPLES Center against the Lakers. Right now, Kobe is 50-50 to play, but his availability should affect your fantasy team either way. The other game on the schedule definitely should be on your fantasy radar since theĀ Suns visit Denver to take on the Nuggets in a matchup of teams that give up a whole lot of points.
With those eight teams in action thereās a nice blend of stars and sleepers to consider for tonight.Ā To see theĀ playersĀ I think are the best optionsĀ for tonight, check out my DraftKingsĀ 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 realizeĀ 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.
