Thursday’s FanDuel slate:

7 p.m. ET: LA Clippers at Indiana, Minnesota at Orlando
7:30 p.m. ET: Toronto at Atlanta
8 p.m. ET: LA Lakers at Boston, Memphis at Oklahoma City
10:30 p.m. ET: San Antonio at Portland

DISCLAIMER: It’s trade deadline day. By the time some of you read this, trades may have happened. By the time I finish writing this and it gets posted, trades may have happened. My best advice to to pay attention to who gets moved today and how that changes a team that might play. For example, if the Lakers trade Rajon Rondo and Brandon Ingram for Bradley Beal. Beal will not play tonight for the Lakers. But it opens up two spots for the Lakers where guys have to step up. So LeBron becomes more important. Kuzma becomes more important. Lance Stephenson becomes more important. Random guys are going to get extra playing time on teams who may have roster holes due to trades. So pay attention to that and if you have any questions, hit me up on Twitter.

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.

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. 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.
