Since the NBA is taking tomorrow off to leave the night clear for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, today features a busy schedule throughout the day. There are ten total games today starting at 3:30 this afternoon. Since most of the DFS fantasy basketball action will be focused on the “Main” window for FanDuel, though, I’ll be focusing on tonight’s six games starting at 6:00 or later in my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.  My FanDuel daily picks are designed to highlight the best plays at each position and price point, so that you that the info you need to make informed decisions for your roster.

The “Main” window closes at lineups lock at 6:00 PM ET when two games tip off. The Suns host the Jazz in Phoenix in one of those 6:00 starts while the other is in Orlando where the Magic face the Grizzlies. At 7:00, the Bulls are in action once again as they take on the Bucks followed by the Knicks and Pacers at 7:30.  At 8:00, Golden State looks to bounce back from their first home loss of the season as they host the Blazers, and we close out the night with a matchup of two teams that beat Golden State this as the Celtics look to continue their West Coast trip with a win in LA where they’ll face the Lakers.

With those dozen teams providing 60 starters and some bench players to pick from, there are lots of different ways you can go as you build your lineup.   To see the options that I think can help you to a big fantasy night, 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.
