The NBA has a busy Friday night ahead with ten games across the country with most of the action featuring conference rivals facing off.  Since ESPN is covering the college hoops tournaments this week, the double-header moves to NBATV, but there are still some compelling games with interesting storylines to watch and enjoy tonight.  Another reason to lock in to the NBA tonight is your DFS fantasy basketball team which you can build with the help of my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.

More from Brooklyn Nets

Your fantasy lineup will lock tonight on FanDuel with the start of the first two games at 7:00 PM ET. Those games are both Eastern Conference matchups as the Hornets and Pistons continue to play for their spot in the playoffs while he Nets and 76ers meet in a battle of teams that have had bad seasons on multiple levels.  The Celtics host James Harden and the Rockets at 7:30 before the big wave of games at 8:00 which features the Timberwolves-Thunder, the Pelicans-Grizzlies, and the Heat-Bulls which is the game that starts the NBATV double-header.  At 9:00 the Wizards are in Utah followed at 10:00 by the Magic visiting the Kings who will be without DeMarcus Cousins as he serves his one-game suspension. The night closes out with two games tipping at 10:30 as the Clippers host the Knicks in the second NBATV game while the more compelling matchup will see the Warriors host the Blazers as Golden State tries to avenge one of their six losses and move to 29-0 at ORACLE this season.

To see the players I like from the 20 teams taking the floor, 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.
