The Thunder have a chance to move join the Spurs and the Cavs in Round 2 if they can close out the Mavericks tonight in Game 5 while the Hornets and Blazers try to do what the Celtics did last night and even their series 2-2. With those three games on tap for tonight, it should be another good night of NBA playoffs. As you get your DFS fantasy basketball team together, check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides to see who I think you should add to your team for tonight’s contests.

The action gets underway tonight on NBA TV where the Hornets host the Heat looking to win their second game in a row and even their series before heading back to Miami for Game 5.  At 8:00, TNT  starts their double-header which features the pair of Western Conference games tonight.  In the first game, the Thunder try to close out the Mavs in OKC, and in the late game the Blazers battle the Clippers trying to even things up before traveling back to LA for game 5.

There should be plenty of drama tonight, and you can get in on the action with plenty of competitions available on DraftKings. To highlight the players you should consider for your team, I’ve put together my DraftKings daily picks for this Monday. 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 DraftKings daily picks, 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 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. As we get close to tip-off tonight, I’ll get you the answers to any questions you ask and also pass along any injury or availability updates.

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 DraftKings 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.
