Just like yesterday, the NBA has a four-game quadruple-header marathon for us to enjoy this Sunday.  You’ll need to get your fantasy basketball lineup build early today, though, since the action tips off at 1:00 PM ET. To help you find the best DFS fantasy basketball options, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.

More from Atlanta Hawks

The first game of the day starts at 1:00 PM ET which is when FanDuel rosters will lock for the day. In that game, the Spurs will look to complete their sweep of the Grizzlies in Memphis.  At 3:30, Steph Curry is expected to return after missing two games with an ankle injury as the Warriors take on the Rockets in Houston.  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 close out 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 solid DFS fantasy basketball options for this Sunday.  Check out my FanDuel 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, 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.

In my FanDuel daily picks, 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 the fantasy basketball hub.

If you have any questions about my picks for today or any of our FanSided fantasy coverage, you can leave them at the bottom of the page in the comments section.  For an even quicker response, you can find me throughout the day on Twitter @FansidedFantasy. I doubt there will be any need for last-minute lineup adjustments, but if there is and updates I’ll pass them along on Twitter as well as answering as many questions as I can.

If you find my picks and analysis helpful and would like to check out my DFS fantasy basketball posts each morning, the easiest way to find the FanDuel daily picks is to drop a bookmark on our fantasy basketball hub or follow on Twitter where I’ll tweet out the links each day when my picks go live.
