The NBA has a very short slate of only three games in tonight’s DFS fantasy basketball competitions. Get your team in the game with FanSided’s FanDuel daily picks.

The NBA has a short stack of three games on Tuesday in tonight’s main DFS fantasy basketball contests, starting at 7:00 PM ET. At 7:00, lineups will lock with the Nets at the Hornets. At 8:00 the Magic go to Houston to face the Rockets, then at 8:30 the Trail Blazers face the Mavericks again for the second time in four days.

With only six teams and 30 starters playing, there are fewer options than usual for building your lineup for tonight. My favorite plays of the day can be found on the following slides in FanSided’s FanDuel daily picks. Each day in order to offer a variety of price points at each position, you can find two slides for each position–one for high-salary options and one for high-value options (though with this short stack on Tuesday, there aren’t always enough players to fill a slide for both options). Each pick is ranked on a scale of 1-5 stars to indicate the confidence in the pick. The final slide of this post has more detail on what each level means, but in short, more stars means more confidence in the selection on a points-per-dollar basis.

Important note, every day the goal of this post is not to give you a copy-and-paste lineup. Instead, each selection is given while highlighting the factors you need to consider when building a customized lineup for yourself. If you want to see an example lineup, you can find it on the final slide of the post, but I suggest you adjust your lineup to fit your personal taste.

If you find this info helpful, drop a bookmark on the fantasy basketball hub to find this kind of post about FanDuel every day along with a similar one for DraftKings. In this post, all references to fantasy points and salary post refer to FanDuel scoring and salaries.
