The NBA keeps rolling along through the early part of December with 20 teams in action tonight. The 10 games are highlighted by a nice ESPN double-header which features some of the biggest stars on the floor tonight. Whether you choose those stars or other big-salary players, you’ll need to mix in the right mid-range and sleeper options to build your DFS fantasy basketball team tonight. To help you find the right options to target, check out my FanDuel daily picks on the next few slides.

FanDuel’s competitions tip off tonight at 7:00 PM ET which is when the first two games of the night get started as the Hornets host the Pistons and the Magic welcome in the Celtics. At 7:30, two alliterated games get underway as the Nuggets visit the Nets and the Hawks host the Heat. The ESPN double-header tips off at 8:00 with the Knicks hosting the Cavs while at the same time the Bucks take on the Blazers and the Rockets welcome in the Lakers. At 8:30, the Mavericks take on DeMarcus Cousins and the Kings before the Suns take on the Pacers at 9:00. The final game of the night is second game of ESPN’s coverage highlighting the Clippers and Warriors in what should be a great game at STPALES Center. Five of the 20 teams in action are on the second night of back-to-back games: the Heat, Pistons, Knicks, Magic, and Suns all played last night. On the other side of their back-to-back, the Nuggets, Warriors, and Blazers are all scheduled to be back in action tomorrow.

With so many teams on the floor tonight, there are tons of options worth a look tonight in some favorable matchups. I have collected my top 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 each day in my FanDuel daily picks, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer to FanDuel pricing and scoring.  If you are looking for similar coverage specifically for DraftKings, check the box above for related posts or find the latest on the fantasy basketball hub. If you have any questions or are looking for any updates as the games get closer, follow @FansidedFantasy on Twitter. I’ll also use that account to tweet out links when we add new stories to the fantasy basketball hub.

It’s time to tip off today’s FanDuel daily picks with a look at the best high-priced PG plays on the board for this Wednesday, December 7.
