The NBA rolls into a new work week with three games on this Monday night as the Thunder look to move on to the next round while the Hornets and Blazers look to even their series 2-2. With six teams in action, there are solid options to pick from as you build your DFS fantasy basketball team. Check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides to see who I think you should add to your team for tonight’s contests.

The first game of the night tips at 7:00 PM ET on NBA TV as the Hornets host the Heat looking to win their second game in a row and even their series before heading back to Miami.  At 8:00, TNT  has a double-header featuring a pair of Western Conference games as the Thunder host the Mavs as they look to advance to the second round. In the second game of that double-header, the Blazers find themselves in the same spot as the Hornets as they host the Clippers looking to pull early in their series before heading back to LA for game 5.

With three games on tap for tonight, there are several good DFS fantasy basketball options for this Monday.  Check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides to see the players I think you should take 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’ll also let you know on Twitter if there are any adjustments to my lineup as we get close to tipoff tonight.

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.
