The best high value and salary picks for DraftKings fantasy basketball for Saturday, Dec. 2.

Eight games on the schedule, with a mix of early and late action. Since DraftKings runs split leagues, this post will cover all eight games, but only feature one player at each position from the early action and two from the late action.

The final example will be strictly based on the five game late action.

Get your afternoon started right with Phoenix against Boston at 1 p.m. ET, the Clippers against the Mavericks at 2 p.m. ET, and the Hawks taking on the Nets at 3 p.m. ET.

The night action begins at 7:30 p.m. ET with the Grizzlies battling the Cavaliers and the Pistons against the Sixers. 8:30 p.m. ET has the Kings against the Bucks. 9 p.m. ET sees the Lakers dueling with the Nuggets. The Pelicans against the Blazers is your late game at 10 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.
