After the spurs knocked off the Warriors to stay perfect at home in last night’s marquee matchups, the NBA has another solid slate of action on this Sunday including four games in the main window tonight. The focus of our Sunday DFS fantasy basketball is the four games starting at 6:00 PM ET or later. Those eight teams have plenty of star power to pick from, and there are some nice sleepers to check out as well.  To see the players I think make sense for your team, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.

The first two of the four games in the main competition tonight both tip off at 6:00 PM ET which is when FanDuel rosters will be locked in for the evening.  The Sixers welcome in the struggling Celtics at 6:00 along with the Pelicans taking on the Clippers.  At 7:00, the Bucks take on the Jazz who finish their midwest back-to-back, and in the final game of the night the Knicks welcome Boogie and the Kings to Madison Square Garden at 7:30.

To see the players from all eight teams that I think are ready to help you get a win tonight, 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. 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. Even with a limited slate like this, you have to double-check availability and injury issues, so I’ll keep you up to date on Twitter if anyone is unexpectedly out or resting.  I’ll also let you know if I have to tweak my personal lineups at all..

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 FanDuel 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.
