The NBA has four games on tap for tonight which is plenty to get some DFS fantasy basketball action in to close out the weekend. There are six games all day in the NBA, but for my DraftKings daily picks I’ll be focusing on the four games that tip off at 6:00 PM ET or later.  They’re in the “Night” competition, but you could definitely use these picks and sprinkle in some early game options for the all day competition that start at 4:00.  To see the players I think make sense for your team from the evening games, check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides.

Half of the four games in the night competition tip off right at 6:00 PM ET.  The Sixers welcome in the struggling Celtics in one of those games while the Pelicans also welcome in the Clippers to the Big Easy.  At 7:00, the Bucks take on the Jazz who finish their midwest back-to-back in Milwaukee after losing last night in Chicago.  The last game of the night isn’t really a late start, but it is the latest of the night tipping off at 7:30 at Madison Square Garden as the Knicks host Boogie Cousins and the Kings.

To see the players from those eight teams that I think are ready to help you get a win tonight, 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.

In this post, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer to FanDuel pricing and scoring.  If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for DraftKings, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on our fantasy basketball hub.

If you have any questions about my picks for today or any of our FanSided fantasy coverage, you can leave them at the bottom of the page in the comments section.  For an even quicker response, you can find me throughout the day on Twitter @FansidedFantasy. I’ll do my best to get you the latest injury and availability news on Twitter as well, so make sure to check back for any late-breaking availability news since taking a zero in DFS can really burn you. I’ll also let you know if I’m tweaking my lineup at all for tonight’s competition.

If you find my picks and analysis helpful and would like to check out my DFS fantasy basketball posts each morning, the easiest way to find the DraftKings daily picks is to drop a bookmark on our fantasy basketball hub or follow on Twitter where I’ll tweet out the links each day when my picks go live.

It’s time to tip-off our DraftKings daily picks for this Sunday, so lets’ take a look at the high-priced PG’s that will be taking the floor tonight.
