The first game of the day could be the last of Memphisā€™s rough season as they host the Spurs who can close out the sweep. Ā At 3:30 in the second ABC game, Steph Curry is expected to return after missing two games with an ankle injury as the Warriors take on the Rockets in Houston. Ā At 6:00, the action shifts from ABC to TNT, and we move to the Eastern Conference for the Celtics and Hawks meeting in Game 4 in Boston. In the final game of the day, the Cavs can possibly join the Spurs as the first two teams into the second round if they can finish offĀ their sweep of the Pistons in Detroit in Game 4 that tips off at 8:30.

With those eight teams in action, there are a some solidĀ DFS fantasy basketball options for this Sunday.Ā  Check out my DraftKingsĀ daily picks on the following slides to see the players I think deserve a look as you build your lineup tonight. 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,Ā youā€™ll find two slides per position in this postā€“one withĀ high-salary options and one withĀ high-value options. Each slide contains at least two optionsĀ with extras thrown in where possible. Ā I base each pickĀ on the currentĀ form of each player and the positional matchups each player will face in todayā€™sĀ 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 Iā€™m putting together the best of my picks into my lineup for todayā€™sĀ competition. I suggest you build your own customized team with the players you like the most, but youā€™re welcome to check outĀ my lineups and use them as a place to get started.
