There are nine games on the NBA schedule tonight. The action tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET with the Spurs visiting the Celtics, the Heat hosting the Timberwolves, and the Nuggets at the Knicks. The more games start at 8 p.m. ET as the Sixers travel to face the Rockets, the Hornets are at the Grizzlies, and the Pelicans host the Magic. The Mavericks are at the Jazz at 9 p.m. ET and the Trail Blazers host the Raptors at 10 p.m. ET. The 10:30 p.m. ET game sees the Clippers hosting the Warriors.

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