The NBA regular season is quickly winding down, so if you like your DFS full of plenty of options you only have a few more contests with jam-packed schedules like tonight’s ten-game slate. To help you find the best plays among the many options on the board tonight, check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides.

The games get underway a little bit later than usual tonight with a 7:30 PM ET tipoff the earliest game on the schedule. There are actually two games scheduled to start at that time as the Heat host the Nets and the Raptors welcome in the Thunder. Four more games get going at 8:00 with the Grizz taking on the Spurs, the Pelicans hosting on the Knicks, the Hawks facing the Bulls, and the T-Wolves trying to take down the Suns.  At 9:00, we get a pair of Western Conference matchups as the Jazz host the Lakers and the Nuggets welcome in the Mavs. In the two later games tonight, the Blazers welcome the Kings at 10:00, and the Celtics visit LA to take on the Clippers at 10:30 in the final game of the night.

At this point in the season, there are plenty of value options to consider as teams take a look at younger talent while also dealing with injuries and getting rest for their veterans.  Getting the right blend of stars and sleepers can sometimes be challenging, but 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.
