There are just seven games on tonight's NBA slate. Five of the seven contests are intraleague matchups, however, the two that are not do have some intrigue which is the 76ers at the Hornets and the Warriors at the Timberwolves. Both the 76ers and Hornets need victories but for different reasons. The Sixers want to maintain the third playoff spot in the Eastern Conference while the Hornets are still one-and-a-half games out of the conference's final playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Warriors look to bounce back from their road loss to the Spurs on Monday and once again take a slight advantage in the race for homecourt advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Tyus Jones: PG vs. GSW ($4,700)
The 6-foot-2 point guard is the obvious choice here with Jeff Teague (foot) and Derrick Rose (elbow) once again sidelined, although Jerryd Bayless ($3,600) may be the wiser play. Jones put up a goose egg against the Rockets on Sunday as he missed all six of his shots from the field as well as both of his free throws. He did grab four rebounds and doled out five assists in the game, however. The 23-year-old had scored in double-figures in each of his previous three games and he has played better since the all-star break. Jones averages 9.9 points, 7.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and two steals in 11 games as a starter.
Pat Connaughton: SG vs. MIN ($4,400)
This was a tough decision as I also like Jeremy Lamb here. But with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Eric Bledsoe out for the Bucks and the Lakers missing several players including LeBron James, I chose Connaughton. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard has played decently well since Brogdon has been out (four games), scoring in double-figures in half of the games while knocking down 16 of 27 shots from the field and 10 of 17 from beyond the arc while also collecting at least three boards. He is averaging 7.1 points along with 4.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 24 minutes in his last 10 games.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Joe Harris: SF @ SAC ($4,300)
Harris has not played as well as he did prior to the all-star break. But the 27-year-old has scored in double-figures in six of eight games. He had a pretty solid outing the last time the Nets faced the Kings, compiling 19 points along with seven rebounds and two assists.
John Collins: PF vs. HOU ($8,600)
Collins is the top play here. He is coming off his worst performance since the all-star break on Sunday against Orlando as he totaled just 10 points along with seven rebounds and one block in 20 minutes. The 21-year-old has scored in double-figures in each of his last 10 games and registered seven double-doubles during this span. Collins is averaging 22.3 points, 10.9 caroms, 1.5 assists, and one block while shooting 54.7 percent from the field and 40 percent from long distance since the all-star break.
FanDuel DFS Centers
JaVale McGee: C @ Bucks ($5,500)
The 31-year-old is playing his best basketball since December. The 7-footer has scored in double-figures in five of his last eight games while also producing two double-doubles. In addition, McGee has hauled in at least five boards in seven of those games and registered 12 blocks during this eight-game stretch.
