Cancel your Wednesday plans and buckle up for a big night of NBA action as 22 teams take the floor.

The action tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET with three games. The Kings and Hawks battle to see who is the best of the worst, the Wizards take on the Heat, and the Jazz head to the Garden to take on the Knicks.

Things really pick up at 8 p.m. ET with six games on tap. LeBron and the Cavaliers take on old nemesis Dwight Howard and the Hornets, the Pacers square off with the Grizzlies, the Piston take on the Bucks in a battle of length, the old guard Spurs try to fend off the up-and-coming Timberwolves, the Raptors duke it out with the Pelicans, and the Bulls try to slow down the Thunder.

The night cap includes the Magic against the Blazers at 10 p.m. ET, followed by the 76ers and Lakers in a 2021 NBA Finals preview.

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. 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 @jeremylambert88.

Let’s take a look at your best options for both studs and value players at each position.
