Out of Friday’s eight games, five have point-totals surpassing 230. Luckily, other three offer some positive variance since not one of those six teams is playing particularly well right now.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/22/23): NBA DFS Lineups

There are four games on the DraftKings main slate tonight, but FanDuel did its own thing (what's new) and has included the earlier Knicks-Raptors game in their main slate schedule.
