While the national TV coverage doesn’t start until 8:00 PM ET, FanDuel rosters will lock at 7:00 PM ET when the first game of the night tips off featuring the Kings at the Cavaliers. At 7:30, two more games get underway as James Harden and the Rockets roll into Boston to face the Celtics while the Heat head to Brooklyn to take on the Nets. At 8:00, a huge wave of five games get started including the Warriors visiting Charlotte in ESPN’s featured matchup The other four games are the Hawks at the Bulls, the Sixers at the Bucks, the Raptors at the Grizzlies, and the Thunder are in the Big Easy to take on the Pelicans.

As you check out all those matchups and make your lineup selections for tonight, scroll through the following slides which are stocked with the best of today’s FanDuel daily picks. You’ll find two slides for each of the five positions on FanDuel. The first slide focuses on the high-salary players (usually over 6K) who cost a lot but also deliver.. The second slide focuses on more high-value plays or “sleepers” that cost less but can still produce. You’ll also see that I rank each pick with stars on a scale of 1-5 at the end of each explanation. The final slide has more details on what each level means, but the short version is more stars means more confidence in the pick.
The goal of this post and FanSided’s FanDuel daily picks each day isn’t to give you a copy-and-paste lineup to use but instead to help you understand and know the factors to consider as you fill out your lineup card with the players you believe in the most. If you want to see how I’m putting my picks into a lineup, check out the final slide of this post. Each night, I enter my lineup in mostly double-up, head-to-head, or small-field competitions since I prefer lower risk lineups to the high-risk lineups that work best in GPP contests.
