The NBA has a huge Wednesday night of action with a dozen games giving us lots of options for today’s FanDuel daily picks highlighting the top DFS fantasy basketball options.

This weekend the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament will go from a sweet sixteen to a final four with 12 games spread across four days of action.  The NBA has that many games going on just tonight with 24 teams taking the floor across the country.  While tonight’s games aren’t win-or-go-home like the tournaments, they will have plenty of drama if you get together a DFS fantasy basketball team which makes every possession, assist, steal, and rebound vital to success. To help you find the best options for your roster tonight, I’ve put together my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides with the players I think make sense in tonight’s matchup.

Two games get us going tonight at 7:00 as the Cavs are back in action against the Bucks and the Hawks visit DC to take on the Wizards.  At 7:30, the Pistons host the Magic and the Celtics welcome in the Raptors in an important game for both team’s playoff slots. At 8:00, there are three more games tipping off including the Bulls and Knicks meeting in the first game of the ESPN double-header.  The other two 8:00 starts are the Jazz at the Rockets and the Timberwolves hosting the Kings. The Spurs welcome in the Heat at 8:30 in a rematch of the NBA Finals from two years ago followed at 9:00 by the Nuggets hosting the 76ers.  Two more games get underway at 10:00 as the Suns host the Lakers and the Blazers host Dallas.  In the last game of the night, the Warriors look to stay undefeated at home and shake off their recent shooting slump as they host the Clippers in a big Western Conference showdown.

With those 24 teams taking the floor there are 120 starters to choose from for your DFS fantasy basketball team tonight plus a few good bench options as well.  To sort through the many options, 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.
