There are just three nights left in the NBA regular season, but there is still lots to be determined as teams wrap up their last few games.  Whether your team is in the playoffs or headed for an early offseason, you can get in on tonight’s action by joining one of the many DFS fantasy basketball competitions.  To help you find the right players for your lineup, I’ve put together my FanDuel daily picks for today highlighting the best plays from the 18 teams in action.

FanDuel still doesn’t support late-swapping, so rosters for the whole night lock in at 7:00 PM ET.  At that time, two games get underway as the Cavs host the Hawks in a possible playoff series preview while the Magic host the Bucks in a matchup of two teams outside of the playoffs. At 7:30, the Celtics host the Hornets in an important game for both teams’ playoff seeding while in Brooklyn the Nets welcome in the Wizards.  At 8:00, the Bulls-who are now eliminated-take on the Pelicans, the Rockets-who are still alive-visit the Timberwolves, and the Thunder host Kobe and the Lakers.  At 9:00, the Jazz and Mavs meet in another important game out West since the Mavericks currently sit #7 one game ahead of Utah who is #8 who is just one game ahead on Houston in the #9 spot. The final game of the night doesn’t tip off until 10:00 PM ET when the Kings go on the road to take on the Suns in Phoenix.

Coming down the stretch, many NBA teams have been resting their stars to improved their draft stock or to get them ready for the playoffs, so make sure to 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 FanDuel 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 FanDuel pricing and scoring.  If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for DraftKings, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on our new-look fantasy basketball hub.
