FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – October 24, 2017

The NBA has six games on tap on Tuesday night, with some interesting match-ups. The Nets and Magic played last week, with some big fantasy scores produced, so the rematch is wroth an eye. Kristaps Porzingis has been on a solo mission in New York, and he has a big size advantage against the Celtics. The Timberwolves are learning how to mesh all of their young talent, and get the chance to work on an ailing Pacers squad. The Pelicans at the Trail Blazers pits several of the most explosive players in the NBA on one court, and the Jazz bring their defense into LA to face a tough Clippers squad with the size to fight back.

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.

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 FanDuel as well as one specifically designed for usage on DraftKings.  In this post, all salary and “fantasy points” references are to FanDuel’s 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.
