There are four NBA games on tap for tonight, so make your DFS fantasy basketball selections this Sunday wisely.  The Clippers and Cavs are a nice Sunday afternoon matinee, but in my DraftKings daily picks I’ll be looking at the four games in the main competition window that starts at 6:00 PM ET tonight.  To see the players I think are set up for success, check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides.

Of the eight teams in action tonight, three are playing for the second day in a row.  The action starts with two of those teams on a back-to-back as the Pacers are in Atlanta starting at 6:00 PM ET.  In the other 6:00 start,  Boogie returns for the Kings as they host the Jazz who continue to try and battle their way into the playoffs. At 8:00, the Nets and Bucks tip off in Brooklyn followed by the final game of the night at 9:30 when the Lakers host the Knicks who are finishing their two-game visit to STAPLES Center after losing Friday to the Clippers.

There aren’t a surplus of options tonight with only eight teams in action, but there are definitely some players to consider for your lineup at a variety of price points.  To see my favorite players and how I’m building my personal lineups, 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. In order to help you find the position and price-point that you need, you’ll find two slides per position in this post–one with high-salary options and one with high-value options. Each slide contains at least two options 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.
