A busy night of action around the league as 11 games are on the schedule.

7 p.m. ET sees the Magic take on the Hornets, the Knicks meet the Pacers, and the Suns against the Sixers. The Nets rematch the Hawks and the Bucks battle the Celtics at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Cavaliers take on the Bulls, the Timberwolves look to add the misery of the Grizzlies, and the Warriors meet the Pelicans at 8 p.m. ET.

8:30 p.m. ET has the Nuggets against the Mavericks and the Pistons against the Spurs. 9 p.m. ET see the Wizards travel west to meet the Jazz.

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.
