It’s going to be a huge weekend across the sports world and the NBA is ready to carve out a piece of the action starting with a solid eight games tonight. There are some possibly playoff series previews, some teams looking to bounce back, and the one winless team still looking for their first “W.” If you’re looking to get jump into one of the many DFS fantasy basketball contests on DraftKings, find my favorite options on the following slides in today’s DraftKings daily picks.

More from DraftKings

The first wave of games tonight features some good Eastern Conference matchups as lineups lock down at 7:00 PM ET. The Knicks-Celtics, Cavaliers-Wizards, and Hornets-Raptors games could all be playoff series previews while the 76ers are just hoping to get their first win of the season.. The only nationally-televised game tonight is a Western Conference matchup between the Thunder and Clippers who meet at 8:00 PM ET in Oklahoma City. At 10:00, the last game of the night gets underway as Damian Lillard and the Blazers welcome in Boogie and the Kings. Sacramento is the only team on the second night of back-to-back games while the Celtics, Clippers, Pistons, Pacers, Knicks, Sixers, Spurs, Raptors, Jazz, and Wizards are all schedule to play again tomorrow which could impact their rotations tonight.

To help you sort through the teams in tonight’s eight games, I’ve put together my favorite fantasy 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 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 DraftKings daily picks, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer DraftKings pricing and scoring.
