Get your lineup locked in for tonight’s nine-game DFS fantasy basketball slate with the help of my DraftKings daily picks.

Tonight, the NBA has nine games ready to roll including a few important games for the playoff race, some interesting lineup situations to watch, and the last D-Wade vs Kobe matchup. You can get a piece of the action as you build your team for DFS fantasy basketball with the help of my DraftKings daily picks.

More from Denver Nuggets

The action gets underway at 7:30 tonight the Raptors welcome the Hawks North of the border to Toronto in a battle of Eastern Conference playoff teams. At 8:00, the Western Conference jumps into the action as the Grizz host the Nuggets, the Suns visit Milwaukee in what should be a high-scoring game, and the Clippers tangle with the T-Wolves in Minnesota.  At 8:30, the Spurs look to improve to 38-0 at home as they host the Pelicans while elsewhere in the state Texas the Knicks visit the Mavericks.  At 9:00, the Warriors continue their pursuit of the best regular season ever as they travel to Utah for a tricky game against the Jazz who have the altitude and the fact that Golden State is playing the second night of a back-to-back on their side.  In the final two games from out West, the Kings welcome in the Wizards at 10:00, and the dysfunctional Lakers take on the Heat at 10:30 in the final game of the NBATV double-header.

The wild week of “Who’s in?” and “Who’s out?” is sure to continue, but there are definitely some players who I think are set up for success. 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.
