13 games on the Tuesday schedule with plenty of great matchups to take advantage of.

Things begin at 7 p.m. ET with the Raptors truing to fend off the Cavaliers and the Nets taking on the Sixers. 7:30 p.m. ET has the Hawks against the Heat and the Magic battling the Knicks. Four games at 8 p.m. ET with the Hornets facing the Bulls, the Wizards looking to keep the Rockets out of rhythm, the Celtics taking on the Bucks, and the Warriors squaring off with the Thunder. The Trail Blazers meet the Mavericks at 8:30 p.m. ET.

The Pacers play the Nuggets and the Lakers take on the Jazz at 9 p.m. ET. The Kings meet the Suns at 10 p.m. ET and the Spurs take on the Clippers 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.
