It's a five-game NBA DFS slate for Wednesday night, with the highest total at 229 for the Timberwolves-Warriors. The rest of the totals sit between 208 and 213. Plenty of daily fantasy basketball picks will come from the Wolves-Dubs, but that doesn't mean there aren't sleepers and values to found in the other games for DraftKings and FanDuel contests.
Reminder: Not all of the top options are listed in the Playbook. Great players always make for great plays, but we aim to provide options across all salary ranges, not only the top plays. Position designations are usually listed according to FanDuel eligibility, but players might be eligible at other positions on other sites. Mixing and matching is easier with multiple DraftKings options than on FanDuel.

| Pos | Player | Matchup | FD | *Own % | DK | Analysis |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG | Stephen Curry | MIN@ GSW | $9500 | GO PRO ! | $9300 | GO PRO ! |
| PG | Kyrie Irving | LAL@ BOS | $8900 | GO PRO ! | $8800 | GO PRO ! |
| PG | Goran Dragic | MIA @PHX | $7100 | GO PRO ! | $6800 | The Suns are allowing the most fantasy points to point guards this season, which makes Dragic a very solid play in both GPP and cash game contests tonight. There is also the revenge narrative here after the Suns traded away Dragic to the Heat a few seasons ago. |
| PG | Reggie Jackson | IND@ DET | $6700 | GO PRO ! | $6000 | GO PRO ! |
| SG | Devin Booker | MIA@ PHX | $7200 | GO PRO ! | $8000 | GO PRO ! |
| SG | Jaylen Brown | LAL@ BOS | $5500 | GO PRO ! | $6200 | GO PRO ! |
| SG | Dion Waiters | MIA @PHX | $6000 | GO PRO ! | $5700 | GO PRO ! |
| SG | Avery Bradley | IND@ DET | $6300 | GO PRO ! | $5500 | Bradley has exceeded 30 fantasy points in each of the past two games. He is still underpriced on DK, and that is where I will look to play him tonight. |
| PG | Marcus Smart | LAL@ BOS | $5900 | GO PRO ! | $5300 | GO PRO ! |
| SG | Jordan Clarkson | LAL @BOS | $4100 | GO PRO ! | $4200 | GO PRO ! |
| SG | Courtney Lee | NYK @ORL | $4500 | GO PRO ! | $4200 | GO PRO ! |
| SF | Evan Fournier | NYK@ ORL | $6100 | GO PRO ! | $6700 | GO PRO ! |
| SF | TJ Warren | MIA@ PHX | $6300 | GO PRO ! | $6000 | GO PRO ! |
| SF | Jayson Tatum | LAL@ BOS | $5700 | GO PRO ! | $6200 | We have seen Tatum put up two 40-plus-point fantasy outings this season, which makes him a great GPP play in my opinion. He doesn't need to score a ton to get his point either as he is a good rebounder with the ability to block shots and grab a steal on the occasion, as well. |
| SG | Tim Hardaway Jr. | NYK @ORL | $6000 | GO PRO ! | $6100 | GO PRO ! |
| SF | Brandon Ingram | LAL @BOS | $6000 | GO PRO ! | $5900 | GO PRO ! |
| SF | Bojan Bogdanovic | IND @DET | $4700 | GO PRO ! | $4800 | GO PRO ! |
| PF | Kristaps Porzingis | NYK @ORL | $9800 | GO PRO ! | $9500 | GO PRO ! |
| PF | Draymond Green | MIN@ GSW | $8200 | GO PRO ! | $7500 | With Kevin Durant ruled out I think Green is an autoplay for me tonight. Not only does he set up the offense, but he should also be more involved in the scoring tonight. He also will have the advantage over Taj Gibson on the defensive end. |
| PF | Aaron Gordon | NYK@ ORL | $7800 | GO PRO ! | $7200 | GO PRO ! |
| PF | Tobias Harris | IND@ DET | $6900 | GO PRO ! | $6600 | GO PRO ! |
| PF | James Johnson | MIA @PHX | $6200 | GO PRO ! | $6400 | GO PRO ! |
| PF | Thaddeus Young | IND @DET | $6400 | GO PRO ! | $5800 | GO PRO ! |
| PF | Kyle Kuzma | LAL @BOS | $6300 | GO PRO ! | $6100 | GO PRO ! |
| PF | Anthony Tolliver | IND@ DET | $3000 | GO PRO ! | $3500 | GO PRO ! |
| C | Karl-Anthony Towns | MIN @GSW | $9700 | GO PRO ! | $8900 | GO PRO ! |
| C | Andre Drummond | IND@ DET | $9400 | GO PRO ! | $8400 | GO PRO ! |
| C | Nikola Vucevic | NYK@ ORL | $8200 | GO PRO ! | $7100 | GO PRO ! |
| C | Hassan Whiteside | MIA @PHX | $9000 | GO PRO ! | $7400 | GO PRO ! |
| C | Myles Turner | IND @DET | $7500 | GO PRO ! | $7000 | GO PRO ! |
| C | Brook Lopez | LAL @BOS | $6900 | GO PRO ! | $6100 | We have seen Lopez really come on of late, but with news that Al Horford is out of the lineup I am interested to see how the Lakers will now play their rotations if the Celtics decide to go small. That could take Lopez off the floor. He is a GPP-only play. |
| C | Aron Baynes | LAL@ BOS | $3500 | GO PRO ! | $3500 | GO PRO ! |
