The NBA has one of the busiest basketball nights of the month on this Saturday, December 10, with 20 teams scheduled to take the floor in tonight’s DFS fantasy basketball action. After nine games last night, tonight will be a similarly deep slate of options, so make sure to check out today’s FanDuel daily picks on the following slides to see who you consider for your roster.

Tonight’s FanDuel competitions lock at the normal time at 7:00 PM ET. There are three games at 7:00 tonight as the Nuggets visit the Magic, the Bucks take on the Wizards, and the Pacers host Portland. One more game starts at 7:30 in Cleveland where the Cavs take on the Hornets. There is another trifecta of 8:00 games featuring the Bulls hosting the Heat, the Rockets welcoming in the Mavericks,  and the Warriors taking on the banged up Grizzlies. The Spurs take on the Nets at 8:30 followed by the Jazz and Kings at 9:00. The last game of the night starts at 10:30 Eastern, but it features a lot of nice fantasy options as the Clippers host Anthony Davis and the Pelicans.

When you’re checking out all those matchups, its worth noting that the  Hornets, Cavs, Mavs, Rockets, Pacers, Heat, Bucks, Magic, and Kings are all playing on the second night of back-to-back games while the Warriors and Pelicans will turn around and play another game on the road tomorrow.

With 20 teams giving us 100 starters and plenty of options to consider,  there are lots of ways you can assemble your DFS fantasy basketball team. I have collected my favorite options for you to check out on the next few slides in 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.

With those introductory comments out of the way, let’s tip off our Saturday night FanDuel daily picks with a look at the best point guards on the board tonight.
