The Western Conference Finals get us started tonight with the Thunder visiting Golden State at 9:00 PM ET. Ā Your entire roster for the two-day contest will lock at that point on FanDuel since late-swapping is still not an option. Ā I think the Warriors will get the win tonight at home, but Steph Curryās strugglesĀ are definitely cause for concern. Ā Tomorrow, the Cavs can close out the Raptors if they can get their first win of the season in Toronto. Ā I think Cleveland will close out Toronto in Game 6 and the Thunder will join them in the NBA Finals with a Game 6 win of their own. As long asĀ there are multiple games to pick from, daily fantasy basketball will keep rolling and you can find my FanDuel daily picks here at Fancied.
Throughout the season, my goal in my post each morning 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, there areĀ 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.
