The NBA had nine good games on tap to start the weekend this Friday night There will be plenty of star power on display as Boogie Cousins, Stephen Curry, James Harden, John Wall, and Giannis Antetokounmpo headline the action tonight. For DFS fantasy basketball you’ll need to blend the right imx of stars and sleepers, and you can find all my favorites on the following slides in my DraftKings daily picks.

The Wizards and Timberwolves get things started in the first game of the night at 7:00 in DC.  The Pistons and Hornets tip off their game at 7:30 in an important matchup for both teams as they battle for the playoffs with Charlotte sitting sixth and the Pistons currently holding the eight and final playoff spot in the East. Three more games are scheduled to tip off at 8:00 as the Hawks battle the Bucks, the Raptors visit the Rockets, and the two Florida teams match up in Miami as the Heat host the Magic.  At 8:30, the Spurs will be resting players as they welcome in the Grizzlies but try to stay undefeated at home on the season.  In the late wave of games, the Kings host the Suns at 10:00 followed by two final games featuring the Warriors welcoming the Mavericks and the Lakers taking on the Nuggets.

At this point in the season, there are plenty of value plays to consider as teams take a look at younger talent while also dealing with injuries and rest for their usual starters.  Blending the right sleepers in with your star plays is the way to go as you build your lineup for tonight.  To see the options that I think can deliver for you tonight, 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.
