Five games on the schedule on Thursday night with a handful of high salary superstars on the board.

We tip-off at 7:00 p.m. ET with the Lakers trying two sweep their two game season series against the Wizards. Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, and the Pelicans battle Kylie Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, and the Raptors at 7:30 p.m. ET. At superstar showdown between LeBron James and the Cavaliers against James Harden and the Rockets goes down at 8:00 p.m. ET. 10:00 p.m. ET has a meeting of young guns as the 76ers take on the Kings. And the night ends at 10:30 p.m. with the Thunder looking to snap a three-game skid against the Nuggets.

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.
