Another five-game slate on Thursday night, which includes five players averaging 50+ fantasy points this season on DraftKings.

The games begin at 7 p.m. ET as John Wall and the Wizards look for revenge when they host the Lakers. At 7:30p.m. ET, it’s a battle of two-man tandems when the Pelicans meet the Raptors. Plenty of points will be available at 8:00 p.m. ET when LeBron James and the Cavaliers travel to face James Harden and the Rockets. 10 p.m. ET has the 76ers battling the Kings. Things close out at 10:30 p.m. ET with the struggling Thunder looking to slow down the high-powered Nuggets offense.

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.

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.
