It’s going to be a wild Wednesday of DFS fantasy basketball, so get your roster ready with the help of FanSided’s DraftKings daily picks from tonight’s ten games.

It’s a busy, busy night of DFS fantasy basketball with double-digit games on tap across the Association tonight. ESPN has a pair of games that they’re featuring, and there’s a huge wave of games getting ready to tip-off at 8:00 PM ET. While there is a “turbo” contest focused on just the six games starting then, in the following slides we’ll look at options from all across the ten games in today’s version of FanSided’s DraftKings daily picks.

There’s just a single game tipping off at 7:00 PM ET which is when the rosters for tonight will lock in place. At 7:00, the Cavs host the Kings to start off the night followed by the Rockets at the Celtics and the Heat at the Nets at 7:30. In the massive wave of games at 8:00 PM ET, the Hawks visit the Bulls, the Bucks host the Sixers, the Grizzlies welcome the Raptors, the Pelicans take on the Thunder, and the Hornets welcome home Steph Curry and the Warriors. ESPN is covering the Curry homecoming in Charlotte followed by the final game of the day when the Lakers visit Portland to take on the Blazers. The one game that starts between those two tip times is the Knicks visiting the Mavericks at 8:30. As you survey those matchups tonight, it’s worth remembering that the Celtics, Bulls, Sixers, and Raptors are playing for the second night in a row while the Mavs, Lakers, and Thunder are coming back tomorrow for another game after playing tonight.

Before we dive into today’s DraftKings daily picks on the next slide, here’s a couple of quick reminders of what to expect. In this post, there are a pair of slides per position with a group of high-salary options followed by a group of high-value options at each of the five positions on DraftKings. Each one of the picks are assigned a rating of 1-5 stars based on the level of confidence I have in the pick with more stars meaning more confidence (on a points-per-dollar basis).

Each day, this post is designed to help you have the info you need to build your own lineup and not a place to just find a copy-and-paste lineup. I do include my lineup on the last slide of this post, but you can switch players in or out as you think best to build a team you can really enjoy cheering for in tonight’s ten games. Just for your information, I use my lineup for head-to-head or double-up style competitions since I usually go with lower-risk contests that allow me to cash more often.

To keep up with each day’s daily fantasy basketball coverage head over to the fantasy basketball hub where you can find a daily DraftKings post as well as one specifically designed for usage on FanDuel. In this particular post, all salary and “fantasy points” references are to DraftKings scoring system.
