The NBA is ready to rock the new week with a slate of 11 games in tonight’s DFS fantasy basketball competitions. Get your team in the game with FanSided’s FanDuel daily picks.
The NBA has 11 games ready to tipoff a new week of action in tonight’s main DFS fantasy basketball contests. All 11 are included in today’s FanDuel daily picks, starting at 7:00 PM ET or later. At 7:00, lineups will lock with the Spurs at the Pacers and the 76ers at the Hornets. At 7:30 two more games tip, including the Grizzlies at the Nets and the Magic at the Heat. At 8:00 the Pistons are at the Bucks and the Thunder are at the Wizards, then a half hour later the Celtics are at the Mavericks. Finally, on the later slate, three games tip at 9:00, including the Warriors at the Nuggets, the Pelicans at the Suns and the Clippers at the Jazz followed by the one nightcap game of the Hawks at the Trail Blazers.
With 22 teams and 110 starters to sort through, there are lots of ways you can build 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. 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.
