The best high salary and value picks for FanDuel fantasy basketball on Saturday, Dec. 9.

There are 10 games on the schedule for Saturday with the action starting in the afternoon.

The Wizards take on the Clippers at 3:30 p.m. ET. Immediately after that will see the Heat and Nets square off Mexico City at 6 p.m. ET. The Lakers take on the Hornets at 7 p.m. ET followed by the Magic and the Hawks rematch at 7:30 p.m. ET.

The Sixers try their luck against the Cavaliers and the Knicks face-off with the Bulls at 8 p.m. ET. The Jazz battle the Bucks at 8:30 p.m. ET. 9 p.m. ET features the Thunder locking up with the Grizzlies and the Spurs against the Suns. Late action has the Rockets dueling with the Trail Blazers at 10 p.m. ET.

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.
