Another weekend of the Conference Finals means more daily fantasy basketball, so build your lineup with my FanDuel daily picks from Friday and SaturdayāsĀ games.
The Golden State Warriors extended their season with a Game 5 win last night and also extended the daily fantasy basketball action since weāll have at least one more game in each series.Ā Ā Game 6 of the Thunder-Warriors is the second game in the two-game competition starting tonight after Game 6 in the Eastern Conference gets things started tonight. Ā To see who I think you should look to add to your roster for the start of this weekend, check outĀ my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.Ā

Lineups on FanDuel will lock tonight at 8:30 PM ET when LeBron and the Cavs look to close out the Raptors north of the border and avoid a Game 7 which would be back in Cleveland. Ā Oklahoma City can close out their series as well, but they have their best shot to finish off the Warriors in Game 6Ā since theyāll have to go back to Oakland if there is need for a decisive Game 7. Ā I actually think neither series will see a Game 7 and that the Cavs and Thunder will meet in an exciting NBA Finals after closeout wins the next two nights.
Throughout the season, my goal in my FanDuel daily picks posted each morning here at FanSided 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.
