Even with only two games in the NBA Playoffs tonight, you can still build your DFS fantasy basketball team with the help of my DraftKings daily picks.
The NBA Playoffs continued last night with the Warriors picking up a win over hapless Houston even without Steph Curry to go up 2-0 while the Raptors and Mavericks evened their opening round series at 1-1. Tonight, we have two more Game Two’s on tap as the Celtics take on the Hawks in Atlanta and the Grizzlies visit San Antonio to face the Spurs. You can get your DFS fantasy basketball team in the action by checking out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides to see who I think should be in your lineup tonight.

The action tonight starts at 7:00 PM ET when the Hawks host Boston, and the second game of the night tips off at 9:30 PM ET in San Antonio. While no one gives the Grizzlies much of a shot to win the series, there are some interesting value options from the Memphis rotation to consider as well as plenty of options from the Eastern Conference matchup in Atlanta. Since the second game could turn into a blowout again, I’d suggest weighting your pieces toward the early game with a couple late-game options mixed in.
With just four teams in action, there aren’t a ton of options to pick from, but there are some values to be had if you know where to look. Check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides where you can find who I like in today’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. 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 today’s game.
I rank my picks each day 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 today’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.
