Here’s how we recommend setting your DraftKings lineups for today’s NBA action.
Only four games on the Monday schedule with three of them coming at 8 p.m. ET. That’s when the Spurs face the Rockets, the Bucks meet the Grizzlies, and the Kings play the Thunder. The Heat and Trail Blazers end the night 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: 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.
