The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook had another huge night on Wednesday night, but let's worry about the present and not the past. I'm one of the few people that is not a fan of Rajon Rondo tonight (who has a great matchup) because the guy has SIX total points in the past three games. The guy just doesn't score points and he needs close to 15 assists just to return value.
The point guard position is filled with guys I love at all different price ranges. Kyle Lowry continues to produce huge fantasy numbers with DeMar DeRozan out. The shooting guard position has a couple of high priced players to really get excited about, but also has a few cheap plays that will put up big numbers as well. Not a big fan of the small forward position because the options are slim pickings. Don't be afraid to use Rudy Gay ONLY if you have the extra money.
There are a lot of quality value plays at the power forward position, which will allow you to spend big at the other positions. Love the options at center tonight. Especially since all of the great options do not cost a lot. Good luck tonight.
