It’s a busy night of NBA action. The worst defense in the league takes the court, the fantasy player this year is in action, and everything in between.

The games begin at 7 p.m. ET when the Bucks meets the Cavaliers in an offensive showdown. Also at that time we have the Pelicans facing the Pacers and the Mavericks looking for their second win of the season against the Wizards. At 7:30 p.m. ET the Hornets will try to slow down Kristaps Porzingis and the Knicks while the Bulls battle the Raptors. 8:30 p.m. ET has the Clippers and the Spurs in a Western Conference showdown. Two games at 9 p.m. ET with the Nets taking on the Nuggets and the 76ers heading west to face the Jazz. And finally, at 10 p.m. ET the Grizzlies and Blazers will grind it out while the Thunder head to Sacramento.

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