Even with just three games on the schedule tonight, you can build your DFS fantasy basketball by checking your these DraftKings daily picks.
On a Monday night where most of the focus of the sport world will be on college football, there are still three games in the NBA giving us a good chance to get in on some DFS fantasy basketball action over on DraftKings. With six teams on the floor, you’ll have to choose wisely for your team from today’s DraftKings daily picks on the following slides.

The first game tonight doesn’t get underway until 7:30 PM ET when the Knicks host Anthony Davis and the Pelicans. The other two games both tip at 8:00 when the Mavs visit Minnesota and the Bulls and Thunder go head-to-head in Chicago. Since there are only those six teams in action, none of them are playing for the second night in a row. Tomorrow, the NBA will be back to full strength with nine games and of the six teams in action tonight only the Bulls turn around and play tomorrow.
With limited options, you’ll have to manage your salary carefully in tonight’s action. To see who I think are the top stars and sleepers based on form and matchup, scroll through my DraftKings 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 DraftKings daily picks, all salary references and references to “fantasy points” refer to DraftKings pricing and scoring.
