ESPN’s double-headers highlights a night full of rivalries in the NBA tonight which should lead to some great games on tonight’s 11-game schedule. DraftKings has a full spectrum of competitions if you’re looking to get into some DFS fantasy basketball fun to help you through the middle of the week. There are so many options to consider for your lineup tonight, but if you are looking for some of the top names to know check out my DraftKings daily picks on the following slides.

The Knicks and Nets get the rivalry night underway at 7:00 PM ET as one of the five games that tip off at 7:00. Other Eastern Conference matchups in the early wave include the Celtics traveling to Washington and the Pacers hosting the still-winless Sixers. At 7:30, there’s another nice matchup as the Bulls head to Atlanta to face the Hawks. After a few more games get going at 8:00 and 9:00, the ESPN double-header wraps up in Texas where the Spurs and Kawhi Leonard host the Rockets and James Harden. We close out the night with two Western Conference games starting at 10:30 as the Blazers take on the Clippers and the Mavericks visit the Warriors by the Bay. Make sure you remember that the Hawks, Nets, Mavs, T-Wolves, Suns, and Blazers are all finishing back-to-back sets after playing last night. The Bulls and Warriors are the two teams in action tonight that will play again tomorrow.

To help you identify some of the best players from the 22 teams taking the floor tonight, I’ve put together my favorite plays on the next few slides in my DraftKings daily picks. My goal each day is to give you the information you need to build your own customized lineup to get you a win in whichever DFS contests you choose to enter. 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 DraftKings daily picks, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer DraftKings pricing and scoring.  If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for FanDuel, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on the fantasy basketball hub.
