For the third straight night, we have eight games and a 7:00 PM ET roster lock.Ā Ā At 7:00, the Thunder are in Indiana to take on the Pacers in the second game of their back-to-back along with a pair of Eastern Conference games as the Pistons host the Nets and the Knicks visit the Wizards in DC. Ā At 7:30, Houston is in action for the 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. Ā At 8:00, the Bulls take on the Jazz at the United Center while the Clippers are in Memphis to face the still injury-depleted Grizzlies. Ā There is no late-late game tonight since the final game of the evening is the big matchup in San Antonio 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. 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 take a look at, there are good sleepers and stars on the other 14 teams as well.Ā To see theĀ players from all eight games that I think are ready to help you get a win tonight,Ā check out my FanDuelĀ 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,Ā youāll find two slides per position in this postāone withĀ high-salary options and one withĀ high-value options. Each slide contains at least two optionsĀ 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.
