The Playbook had a strong night on Saturday as guys such as Derrick Favors, Tony Wroten, and Jimmy Butler all had big nights. However, John Wall's mediocre night kept me from winning a lot of money, but cashing in all double/triple ups and most GPP's is still a very successful night. Russell Westbrook will continue his amazing season vs the Mavericks tonight, so he should be in all lineups on Fanduel, but is more of a GPP play on DraftKings.
Combining Lillard with Westbrook is a great idea on Fanduel. Also, Cory Joseph is a great play because his price is still relatively low and he's getting the start with Tony Parker out. Wesley Matthews is the best option at shooting guard based on his price and the Knicks lack of defense vs guards. There isn't a lot to like with the rest of shooting guard position, especially with James Harden huge price tag. Don't mind using Carmelo Anthony (as long as he plays) on Fanduel because his price isn't crazy high like it is on DK. Wilson Chandler is the best play at small forward based on his cheap price tag and high fantasy point potential.
The power forward position is filled with decent options as Serge Ibaka and Kenneth Faried are safe plays that could explode for big games. The center position is filled with value plays.
Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for December 28th:
Point Guards
Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
Russell Westbrook | Thunder | 11,900 | 11,800 | Mavericks are brutal vs PG's. No Durant = HUGE FPs for R.W. |
Damian Lillard | Blazers | 9,900 | 9,300 | Better FD play. PG's destroy the Knicks. |
Isaiah Thomas | Kings | 5,900 | 5,600 | Averaging 22/2/6/1.5 steals in 2 games vs LAL this season |
Cory Joseph | Spurs | 5,000 | 5,200 | Will easily exceed value with Parker out |
Rajon Rondo | Celtics | 7,900 | 8,400 | Good value on DK |

Wesley Matthews | Blazers | 5,900 | 5,500 | Blazers will need his scoring. Great value as well |
Manu Ginobili | Spurs | 5,000 | 6,000 | Better play on DK b/c of low price tag |

Wilson Chandler | Nuggets | 6,000 | 5,600 | Playing heavy minutes and 30 FP is basically a lock |
