The Beard and The Brow highlight a good night of DFS fantasy basketball this Tuesday as the NBA gives us six games to follow tonight. As you start to put your team together, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides to see the players that I think make the most sense for your fantasy roster this evening.

It’s an early-heavy schedule tonight with all the games getting underway by 9:00 PM ET. The first game starts at 7:00 PM ET which is when lineups will lock for the night as the Hornets host the Pistons. At 7:30, the Clippers are heavily favored in what should be a high-scoring game in Brooklyn against the Nets. There are a pair of games tipping off at 8:00 as the Pelicans welcome in the Lakers and the Cavs visit the Bucks in Milwaukee. At 8:30, the Spurs host the Magic, and the Rockets are in Utah to face the Jazz in the final game of the night which gets underway at 9:00 on NBATV. As far as back-to-back’s, the Hornets and Jazz are lacing them up for the second straight night while the Pistons, Lakers, and Spurs are scheduled to be in action again tomorrow as part of a busy ten-game Wednesday.

With those 12 teams in action tonight, there are some good stars and sleepers to consider. I’ve selected my favorite options on the next few slides for today’s 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 to FanDuel pricing and scoring.
