We have another two-day DFS fantasy basketball competition tipping off tonight, so get your lineup locked in with my DraftKingsĀ daily picks for May 22 and 23.
There is plenty of drama as we reach the middle section of the NBA Conference Finals. Ā While the Eastern Conference matchup still looks a bit one-sided, the Raptors at least have a chance to make it a series after winning Game 3. Ā Out West, the Thunder and Warriors continue their series tonight with a key Game 3 Ā which will go a long way to determining how the rest of the series goes. That Game 3 in the Western Conference tonight and tomorrowās Game 4 in the East make up the DraftKings games that start today, and you canĀ build your lineup with the help of my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides.

As it has been throughout the season, my goal in my DraftKingsĀ daily picksĀ post isĀ 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.
