Owners get an extra hour to prep their lineups tonight since the first games don’t tip off until 8:00 PM ET when rosters will lock in place for the night. TNT starts their double-header tonight with with Thunder hosting the Mavericks while the other 8:00 game will see the Timberwolves host the Pacers. At 9:00, the Suns visit the Nuggets in Denver in a matchup loaded with high-scoring potential, and the night closes out with the Jazz hosting the Lakers at 10:30 in Salt Lake City. While you build your lineup, remember that the Mavs, Lakers, and Thunder are on the second half of their back-to-back after playing last night while the Pacers are the only tone of the eight teams playing tonight who have to worry about a second game tomorrow.
To help you find the best plays of the day in those four games, scroll through the following slides for the best FanDuel daily picks at a variety of price points and positions. For each of the five positions, you can find find two slides-one dealing with high-salary options and one dealing with high-value options. You’ll see that each pick is ranked 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 in short, more stars means more confidence in the pick.
Just so we are clear, the goal of this post each day is not to give you a copy-and-paste lineup. Instead, we highlight the factors you need to consider when building your own customized lineup. If you want to see my personal lineup, you can find it on the final slide of the post, but I suggest you tweak to your own personal taste. In case you were wondering, I prefer the lower-risk cash games instead of the high-risk lineups needed to contend in GPP.
