The double-headers starts tonight in Atlanta where the Hawks will look to rebounds from their horrible Game 2 and the Cavs will try to stay red-hot after setting the NBA record for most three-pointers in a game in their Game 2 rout. Ā The matchup could be a testy one since Atlanta didnāt seem happy about Clevelandās record, but ultimately I donāt think the Hawks have much of a chance of turning this into a series. Ā 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. Ā 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,Ā Iāve leaned more heavily towards that contest.
To see who I like for fantasy hoops tonight, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides. My goal throughout the season has beenĀ 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.
