Heavy action on Friday night in the NBA as 11 games will go down.

Things tip off at 7 p.m. ET with the Pistons taking on the Pacers and the Heat rematching the Wizards. At 7:30 p.m. ET, the Jazz are up against the Nets, the Clippers look for a win against the Cavaliers and the Knicks heading north to face the Raptors. The Hornets try to swarm the Bulls and the Thunder compete against the Spurs at 8 p.m. ET. One game at 8:30 p.m. ET and it’s the Timberwolves against the Mavericks. At 10 p.m. ET, the Trail Blazers take on the Kings. Two games are on tap at 10:30 p.m. ET as the Suns try to stop the Lakers and Pelicans fight it out with 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. 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.
