The NBA celebrates Veterans’ Day this Friday with eight games on the schedule which give us a solid DFS fantasy basketball slate for today’s FanDuel daily picks.

The NBA starts the weekend off right tonight with a nice eight-game schedule. With interesting matchups between big-name stars at both ends of the schedule, there should be plenty of good action from the hardwood tonight. If you’re looking to get in the DFS fantasy basketball contests on FanDuel tonight, check out today’s FanDuel daily picks to find out where to start putting your lineup together.

Most of tonight’s games are early in the evening including four games tipping off at 7:00 PM ET which is when rosters lock for the night. The still-winless 76ers host the Pacers, the Hornets take on the Raptors, and Jazz visit Orlando, and LeBron and the Cavs face John Wall and the Wizards in the four 7:00 matchups. At 7:30, the Knicks travel to Boston to face their Atlantic-division-rivals, the Celtics. The only nationally-televised game pf the night is the Thunder and Clippers who meet at 8:00 PM ET in Oklahoma City followed at 8:30 by the Spurs and Pistons. At 10:00, the last game of the night gets underway as Damian Lillard and the Blazers welcome in DeMcarcus Cousins 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 FanDuel 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 FanDuel daily picks, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer FanDuel pricing and scoring.

Let’s tip off this Friday’s FanDuel daily picks with a look at the point gaurs who I think will be worth their hefty price tag tonight.
