All but two teams in action on Wednesday, which makes playing the matchups more important than ever.

However, before we get to Wednesday, there’s one game on Tuesday night as the Bulls take on the Lakers at 10:30 p.m. ET.

The 7 p.m. ET slate includes the Nets against the Cavaliers, the Wizards battling the Hornets, and the Blazers taking on the Sixers. 7:30 p.m. ET sees the Clippers against the Hawks, the Raptors duking it out with the Knicks and the Celtics looking to keep it rolling against the Heat.

Heavy action at 8 p.m. ET as the Mavericks grind it out with the Grizzlies, an offensive showdown between the Nuggets and Rockets, a rivalry renewed between the Warriors and Thunder, the Magic taking on Minnesota, and the Spurs trying to contain the Pelicans.

9 p.m. ET has the Bulls against the Jazz and the Bucks heading to Phoenix to take on the Suns. The late game features the Lakers against the Kings at 10:30 p.m. ET.

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.
