The action starts early tonight as the NBA shifted the Cavs-Rockets start time to limit the conflict with the World Series which takes place cross the street from the Quicken Loans Arena at Progressive Field. Lineups will lock at 6:00 PM ET as a result, so get everything set before that first game tips off. Four more games get going at 7:00 and 7:30 including the Pacers hosting the Lakers, the Pistons taking on the Knicks, and the Kings playing for the second night in a row as they face the Heat in Miami. As we move to the Midwest, at 8:00 the Grizzlies and Timberwolves meet for the second time this week while Anthony Davis looks to continue his scorching start as the Pelicans host the Bucks in the Big Easy. At 8:30, the Spurs look to be the first team in the NBA to move to 5-0 as they host the Jazz, and in the nightcap the Warriors visit Portland where they’ll face a tough Blazers team that they met in the second round of last year’s NBA Playoffs.

To help you sort through the choices from all 18 teams in action, I’ve selected my top plays for my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides. My goal each day is to give you the information you need to build your own customized lineup to get you a win however you participate in DFS contests. In order to help you find what you need, I’ve separated my picks by position and price. You’ll find two slides per position–the first slide will feature the best high-salary options followed by some high-value options which cost less but still offer solid returns. Each slide contains at least two options with extras thrown in where possible.

I rank my picks for each contest using stars after each explanation to show the relative 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 personal 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.

Just a reminder that in my FanDuel daily picks, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer to FanDuel pricing and scoring. If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for DraftKings, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on the fantasy basketball hub. If you have any questions or are looking for any updates as the games get closer, follow @FansidedFantasy on Twitter. I’ll also use that account to tweet out links when we add new stories to the fantasy basketball hub.

There are tons of plays you can go with today, but I tried to keep the analysis and the selections as tight as possible in this Tuesday edition of my FanDuel daily picks.
