Six NBA games give us a solid pool of players for DFS fantasy basketball, so check out Sunday’s DraftKings daily picks for the best plays of the day.

While the NFL is gearing up for the Super Bowl and giving us a meaningless and barely watchable exhibition game this Sunday, the NBA has a solid slate of six games on tap forSunday night which definitely gives us more than enough options for DFS Fantasy basketball. To see who I think should be able to help your lineup, check out today’s DraftKings daily picks on the following slides.

The main DraftKings competitions tonight start at 6:00 PM ET when half of the games on the schedule get us off to a busy start. The Rockets head to Indianapolis, the Magic are in Toronto, and the Pelicans host the Wizards in the first games of the night. At 7:00, we have a  Texas-sized rivalry between the Spurs and the Mavericks along with a fun Eastern Conference matchup between the Bulls and 76ers. The night closes out with one game from the West Coast as the Blazers welcome in the Warriors. Golden State is the only one of the 12 teams on the schedule on the second night of a back-to-back set while the Magic and the Mavericks both will turn around and play the second half of their back-to-back tomorrow.

To go straight to today’s DraftKings daily picks head to the next slide, but here are a few quick reminders for this Sunday. There are a pair of slides for each of the five DraftKings positions–one to highlight high-salary options and one to highlight high-value options. Each pick is given a rating of 1-5 stars based on my confidence level in the pick (on a points-per-dollar basis). More stars means more confidence with one-star players having the highest risk and five-star players being “must-play” locks.

Each day of the NBA season here at FanSided, you can find these DraftKings daily picks designed to help you have the information you need to put together your own customized lineup. While I do include my personal lineup on the last slide, I don’t suggest you copy and paste. Instead, you should customize your lineup to include the players you like the most and  will enjoy cheering for the most. For your information, my lineup is designed for lower-risk contests like double-up or small-field competitions.

To keep up with all of FanSided’s DFS NBA coverage head over to the fantasy basketball hub where each day you can find a post like this tailored for DraftKings as well as one specifically designed for usage on FanDuel.  In this post, all salary and “fantasy points” references are to DraftKings scoring system and salaries. If you have any additional questions or thoughts or are looking for updates as we approach tipoff, follow @FanSidedFantasy on Twitter or you can follow my account @ZT_sports.
