Get your DFS fantasy basketball team in the game for tonight’s NBA Playoffs with the help of my DraftKings daily picks.
“Let’s play two!” is the NBA’s mantra for the next few days with NBA Playoff double-headers lined up for at least the next four nights. ESPN has both games this Friday which provide us a solid slate of DFS fantasy basketball options for tonight. With four teams on the floor, there are some good plays for today’s DraftKings daily picks that hopefully can bring in some cash tonight.

The double-header tips off at 7:00 PM ET in Atlanta where the Hawks will look to erase an ugly Game 2 loss while the Cavs try to stay red-hot after setting the NBA record for most three-pointers in a game in their Game 2 romp. The matchup could be a testy one since Atlanta didn’t seem happy about Cleveland’s record, but ultimately I don’t think the Hawks have much of a chance of turning this into a close series. The late game, on the other hand, is part of a series that has plenty of drama after a wacky end to Game 2 sets up a tie-breaking Game 3 in Oklahoma City tonight. The Spurs and Thunder both give us some nice fantasy options for tonight and since I think that game has a better chance of being close, I’ve leaned more heavily towards that contest.
To see who I like for fantasy hoops tonight, check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides. My goal throughout the season has been 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 every morning 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.
