Good night in the NBA as there are eight games on the slate for Saturday, so lets get right to it. 

The point guard position is has a couple of extremely good value plays in Brian Roberts and Mo Williams. There are also plenty of solid higher priced players, which makes this one of the hardest positions to pick because of all the great options. The shooting guard position is easier to figure out as James Harden is going to have a big night because there is going to be plenty of scoring in this game (That is why I also like Klay Thompson a lot). There are a couple of sneaky value plays at the position as well.

The small forward position is filled with garbage, so save money by not spending up on any of the higher tier players. The same cannot be said for the power forward position, which has plenty of great options tonight. Zach Randolph loves playing vs his former team and he's under priced on Draftkings. Derrick Williams is one of the most intriguing players tonight because he could play huge minutes if Rudy Gay is out.You're going to want to spend at the center position because there aren't a lot of good value plays and the higher tier players should have big games. 

Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for January 17th:
