Tonight’s handful of NBA games give us plenty of FanDuel daily picks for DFS fantasy basketball competitions.

The NBA has five games on tap for tonight alongside the start of the Sweet 16. If you’ve given up on your bracket or are looking for a more immediate return, check out the DFS fantasy basketball action tonight. With ten teams taking the floor, there are some great options to be aware of, and I’ve done my best to highlight them on the following slides in my FanDuel Daily Picks.

TNT doesn’t have the typical Thursday night double-header tonight due to the tournament, but NBATV does have the 7:00 PM ET start which will be the game that starts the action tonight and locks in everyone’s roster on FanDuel. In that 7:00 tip, the Pacers host the injury-riddled Pelicans.  At 7:30, LeBron and the Cavs finish their back-to-back in Brooklyn against the Nets while the Bulls are also in NYC taking on the Knicks who handed them a loss in Chicago last night.  At 8:00, the Thunder host the Jazz in what should be a fun game to watch, and the night closes out with the Clippers trying to bounce back from their loss to Golden State last night as they welcome in Damian Lillard and the Blazers.

There are definitely some matchups to attack and other to avoid on tonight’s slate which features several rematches of recent games.  To see the options that I think can deliver for you 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. I’ll also use Twitter to get you any breaking news or let you know if I have to tweak my lineups at all based on who’s in and who’s out for tonight.

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.

Let’s get to my Thursday FanDuel daily picks starting with some point guards in a place to produce.
