With just those twoĀ games on tap for tonight,Ā there are limitedĀ DFS fantasy basketball options for this Tuesday, but there are still enough options to get a good team together which can hopefully propel you to a win.Ā Check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides to see the players I think you should takeĀ a look as you build your lineup tonight. My goal each day 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 youāll find two slides per position in this postāone 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 todayāsĀ game.
I rank my picks every morningĀ 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 Iām putting together the best of my picks into my lineup for todayāsĀ competition. I suggest you build your own customized team with the players you like the most, but youāre welcome to check outĀ my lineups and use them as a place to get started.
