It’s going to be a big Monday night of basketball even though the NCAA tournament is taking a few days off before the Sweet 16. The NBA does two better than that with 18 teams taking the floor tonight in nine games across the country including an NBATV double-header. To get immersed in the action tonight, get your DFS fantasy basketball team together with the help of my DraftKings daily picks.

More from Chicago Bulls

The NBATV double-header starts at 7:00 when the first wave of games tips off including the featured game which will see the Spurs back in action after beating the Warriors as they head to Charlotte to face the Hornets. Also at 7:00, the Nuggets are in Cleveland to face the Cavs and the Pacers host the 76ers.  At 7:30, Orlando finishes their back-to-back with a visit to Boston and the Pistons and Bucks clash at The Palace in Detroit. At 8:00, two more potential Eastern Conference teams meet in Atlanta as the Hawks host the Wizards while at the same time the Bulls host Boogie and the Kings and the Warriors look to bounce back as they visit the T-Wolves in Minnesota.  The last game of the night tips off at 10:00 PM ET in a matchup full of value options as the Suns host the Grizzlies.

To see which options I think you should check out for your fantasy basketball roster, 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.
