Even with only two games tonight, you can still get your DFS fantasy basketball game on with the help of FanSided’s DraftKings daily picks for January 22.

The NBA has just a pair of games on this Sunday night with most of the NBA taking the day off. Even with just those two games tonight, there is still a chance to get some DFS fantasy basketball in starting at 6:00 PM ET tonight. Check out tonight’s DraftKings daily picks to see who you need to think about for your lineup tonight. It’s a good warm-up for the NBA Playoffs where limited slates like this are the norm, so don’t just take a pass only because the games are less numerous.

Tonight’s main contest on DraftKings starts at 6:00 PM ET and focuses on the last two games of the day leaving out the two afternoon tilts. Tonight’s games feature the Suns in Toronto to take on the Raptors at 6:00 and the Nuggets traveling to Minnesota to take on the T-Wolves. Both the Suns and the Nuggets were in action last night and picked up wins while the T-Wovles and Raptors had the day off.

Before we get rolling with today’s DraftKings daily picks, here’s a few quick reminders of what to expect. There are two slides per position with a group of high-salary options followed by a group of high-value options. I rank each pick from 1-5 stars based on my level of confidence with more stars meaning I’m more confident in the pick. While this isn’t a place to buy a lineup or find a copy-and-paste lineup for free, you are welcome to see how I’m assembling my favorite picks into my personal lineup on the final slide of this post. I use my lineup mostly for head-to-head or double-up style competitions.
