Welcome to another edition of the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook. Let's get right to it. The point guard position has a couple of really good mid-tier plays that make it hard to spend up for a Russell Westbrook. There are a couple of elite shooting guards that are worth shelling out the money for. The small forward position is a great spot to save some money by not spending on any of the elite players.
The power forward is dominated by Anthony Davis, but his price is extremely high, so only use him in GPP's. The rest of the power forward position is mediocre. Like a lot of centers and the best thing is there are good ones at all different price ranges.
Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for December 7th 2014:
Point Guards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Brandon Knight | Bucks | 6,900 | 7,600 | Had 45 FP vs Dal a few games ago. Cheap on DK |
| Mike Conley | Grizzlies | 7,400 | 6,900 | Like the price on FD. Good matchup as well |
| Mario Chalmers | Heat | 6,100 | 6,100 | Would only play him if Norris Cole is out |
| Ronnie Price | Lakers | 3,000 | 3,600 | Starting for the Lakers. Good punt play, but temper expectations |
Shooting Guards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Monta Ellis | Mavericks | 8,400 | 7,800 | Continues to rack up fantasy points. |
| Tyreke Evans | Pelicans | 7,500 | 7,500 | Boom/bust player that has a great matchup |
| Wesley Matthews | Blazers | 6,000 | 6,000 | Solid mid-tier play that will reach 30 FP |
| Jeremy Lamb | Thunder | 3,600 | 5,600 | Amazing punt play on DK |
Small Forwards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Nicolas Batum | Blazers | 6,600 | 6,700 | Must-start because of price & his high ceiling |
| Chandler Parsons | Mavericks | 7,300 | 6,400 | Only like him on FD based on the price |
| Jabari Parker | Bucks | 5,200 | 5,700 | Puts up stats in all cats. |
| Khris Middleton | Bucks | 4,600 | 4,400 | Boom/bust player that has 2 straight 30+ FP games |
Power Forwards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Anthony Davis | Pelicans | 11,700 | 11,800 | Would only use in GPP's b/c of his extremely high price |
| Dirk Nowitzki | Mavericks | 6,400 | 7,600 | Cheap on DK. Going with Z-BO on FD. |
| Amar'e Stoudemire | Knicks | 5,900 | 5,900 | Lock for 25 FP |
| Ed Davis | Lakers | 3,800 | 4,500 | Starting for the Lakers, but scared of matchup. Fading in cash games |
Centers
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Tyson Chandler | Mavericks | 7,100 | 7,200 | Double-double threat that had 46 FP in their previous matchup |
| Marc Gasol | Grizzlies | 8,700 | 8,400 | Best center on the board |
| Omer Asik | Pelicans | 5,200 | 5,400 | Consistent rebounder vs a brutal Lakers front court |
| Zaza Pachulia | Bucks | 4,000 | 4,100 | Should play heavy minutes with all the injuries to their big men |
