DraftKings daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – October 23, 2017

There are eight NBA games on Monday night, starting at 7:00 PM ET with the 76ers at the Pistons. The Hawks tip at the Heat 30 minutes later, followed at 8:00 PM ET by the Grizzlies at the Rockets and the Hornets at the Bucks. The Raptors are at the Spurs and the Warriors at the Mavericks at 8:30 PM ET, followed by the Wizards at the Nuggets at 9:00 PM ET and the Kings at the Suns at 10:00 PM ET.

My favorite plays of the day can be found on the following slides in FanSided’s DraftKings daily picks. 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.

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.

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 @ProfessorDrz.

Let’s take a look at your best options for both studs and value players at each position.
