The NBA has some nice matchups on this Tuesday headlined by the meeting of Boogie and the Brow out in Sacramento. Before we get to that late game, though, there are five other games on tap for tonight that give us a solid slate for DFS fantasy basketball. To see which players should be in your lineup, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.

Lineups lock tonight on FanDuel at the usual time, 7:00 PM ET which is when the first game of NBATV’s double-header tips off in Cleveland. The Cavaliers host the Hawks in that matchup as they look to stay the only undefeated team in the NBA. At 7:30, the Timberwolves will look to get things rolling as they visit the Nets in Brooklyn. At 8:00, the Nuggets roll into Memphis to face the Grizzlies followed at 10:00 by the second meeting of the season between the Suns and the Blazers. The night wraps up with two 10:30 starts as the Mavs take on the much-improved Lakers and the Pelicans take on the Kings. New Orleans is the only team playing for the second night in a row while the Hawks, Nets, Mavs, T-Wolves, Suns, and Blazers will all finish their back-to-back tomorrow so could adjust their rotation accordingly tonight.

To help you sort through the players from the 12 teams on the floor tonight, I’ve put together my favorite plays in my FanDuel daily picks for this Tuesday 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 FanDuel pricing and scoring.
