This Tuesday features a limited and focused NBA schedule with four games on tap for tonight.  Even with just eight teams taking the floor there is plenty of star power as James Harden and the Rockets head to OKC to take on Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.  Those are just some of the names to check out for tonight’s action, so read through my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides to see who I think is in a place to step up and produce for your DFS fantasy basketball team tonight.

Everyone has an extra 30 minutes before lineups lock tonight since the first game of the evening doesn’t tip until 7:30 at the Barclays Center where the Nets host the Hornets who are coming off a big win last night over the Spurs.  At 8:00, the TNT double-header starts with the Rockets at the Thunder in what could be a first-round playoff matchup depending on how the seeding shakes out.  Also at 8:00, the Pelicans host the Heat.  The night wraps up with an interesting game from LA as the Grizzlies ragtag lineup takes on the Lakers in a matchup where there should be some interesting fantasy value if you know where to pinpoint it.

To see the players from the eight teams in action tonight that I think you should consider for your roster, 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.
