There are seven magnificent matchups in tonight’s DFS fantasy basketball contests, and you can start putting your lineup together with today’s FanDuel daily picks.
After eight games on Monday and eight more on Tuesday, the NBA actually slows down a bit on Wednesday which is usually a very busy night across the Association. There are seven games on tap for tonight including a nice double-header on ESPN, and there is plenty of star power in play for tonight’s DFS fantasy basketball contests. To see which stars and sleepers you need to keep an eye on tonight, scroll through today’s FanDuel daily picks on the following slides.

Tonight’s action tips off at 7:00 PM ET locking in everyone’s lineup on FanDuel when the Magic welcome the Hawks to Orlando and the Thunder visit the Hornets in Charlotte. At 7:30, the Bucks are in New York to face the Knicks, and the ESPN twin-bill starts at 8:00 when the Bulls and Jimmy Butler roll into Cleveland to to challenge the champs. After that flurry of activity early, there is a bit of a lull until the three late games tip off at 10:30 when the Clippers host the Grizzlies, the Kings come home to face the Heat, and the Blazers visit the Warriors in the second game of ESPN’s coverage for the night. Of the 14 teams on the floor tonight, you’ll want to remember that the Grizzlies, Heat, and Kings are playing for the second night in a row while the Hawks, Hornets, Thunder, and Blazers have the second half of their back-to-back tomorrow.
With those 14 teams taking the floor tonight, there are some big names to consider as well as some solid sleepers to target. To see who I think are the top options based on form and matchup, scroll through my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides. 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 my relative confidence in 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. This post isn’t a place to find a copy-and-paste lineup since there are plenty of places that will sell you access to their picks. In this free daily post, I suggest you build your own customized team with the players that you like the most. As always, you’re welcome to check out my lineup and use it as a place to get started.
Just one more quick 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 reminders out of the way, let’s get rolling with tonight’s FanDuel daily picks starting at PG with the most expensive plays on the board.
