For the third night in a row, the NBA has an eight-game slate lined up for DFS fantasy basketball starting at 7:00 PM ET. There is one earlier game tipping at 6:00 in the all-day competitions, but most of the action will focus on the eight later games in the main window. There are plenty of stars on the slate as the Rockets, Thunder, Cavs, and Pistons finish out their back-to-backs. To see which stars and sleepers I like in tonight’s eight games, check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides.

The first games of the night jump at 7:00 when the Thunder are in Indiana to take on the Pacers along with a pair of Eastern Conference games as the Pistons host the Nets and the Knicks visit the Wizards in DC. At 7:30, Houston blasts off to Atlanta for their second night in a row as they face the Hawks in Atlanta while the Cavs wrap up their back-to-back with a return to South Beach for LeBron James. At 8:00, two Western Conference teams travel east as the Jazz visit the Bulls and the Clippers are in Memphis to face the still injury-depleted Grizzlies.

The final game of the night isn’t a late-late game, but it is a marquee matchup as ABC picks up a great primetime matchup between the Warriors who are 62-6 and the Spurs who are 34-0 at home at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. That game should be a great one as the Spurs try to show the Warriors the strength of their home court after Golden State crushed them in their only previous meeting this season which happened in Oakland.

While the final matchup definitely has some stars to consider, there are good sleepers and stars on the other 14 teams as well who can help you pick up a DFS win. To see my favorite options of the night, 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.
