Today is the final Sunday of the regular season and the NBA has some solid games lined up including the Warriors continuing their quest for 73 wins while the Spurs look to continue their undefeated season at home, and other teams jockey for playoff positioning.  On DraftKings today, there are two main windows of competition. There are eight games starting at 3:30 or later in one window with the “night” window focus on the four games that start at 6:00 PM ET or later.  In my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides, you can find the options that I think you should consider for your lineup whatever window you decide to get a lineup together for.

This afternoon, the action starts at 3:30 when the Clippers face the Mavericks on NBATV while the Rockets welcome in the Lakers to Houston.  At 5:00, the Sixers host the Bucks and the Nuggets welcome in the Jazz who are trying to stay ahead of the Rockets for the eighth spot in the Western Conference. In the four games in the night widow, the Brooklyn Nets visit the Pacers in Indiana while the Heat and Magic meet in an all-Florida matchup in Miami at 6:00.  The matchup of the night is at 7:00, but its unclear what coaches Greg Popovich and Steve Kerr have planned as far as possibly resting or limiting minutes of key players even though both the Spurs and Warriors are chasing their own records tonight. The final game of the night tips off 30 minutes later when the Knicks and Raptors take the floor at Madison Square Garden.

There is a lot of uncertainty headed into tonight’s matchups with players resting, injured, and matchups greatly affected by minutes limits.  It’s absolutely vital at this time of year to make sure and check back for any updates before tip-off.  There are a lot of different options to consider as you put together your lineup tonight, so check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides where you can find who I like in tonight’s matchups. 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). 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 check out my lineups and use them as a place to get started.

In this post, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer to DraftKings pricing and scoring.  If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for FanDuel, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on our new-look fantasy basketball hub.
