Three more series head into Game 2 on Tuesday. Here’s the schedule:

*7 p.m. ET: The Wizards look to even the series against the Raptors
*8 p.m. ET: The Bucks try to bounce back from an overtime loss against the Celtics
*10:30 p.m. ET: The Pelicans attempt to sweep home court from the Trail Blazers

Since there are only a handful of games each day, I’ve mixed up the format a bit. Instead of listing my favorite high salary and high value players, I’m looking at each individual game and giving notes on the majority of players. Players are separated into different categories and ranked by how strongly I feel about them.

Let me know what you think of the new format on Twitter or in the comments section.

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. If you have any additional questions or thoughts or are looking for updates as we approach tipoff, follow @FanSidedFantasy on Twitter or you can follow my account @jeremylambert88.

Let’s take a look at your best options for both studs and value players at each position.
