How does a trip to the beaches of Southern California and your share of $100,000 sound this winter? Show off your fantasy basketball prowess by playing and qualifying for the FABC over on Fantasy Aces and you could be the envy of every DFS player in the world.
Great night of basketball on Sunday night with six games on the slate. Russell Westbrook continues to be the top option with Kevin Durant hurt. There are a lot of great value plays that will allow you to spend up for a couple of stud players.
The point guard position is loaded as George Hill and Mo Williams are quality mid-tier plays. Mike Conley is a great play as well as he is under priced and almost had a triple-double last time these two teams met. The shooting guard position is the toughest to figure out tonight as Klay Thompson has really struggled recently, but he is due for a big game and scored 40 points vs the Pacers earlier this season. Evan Fournier is a great option as long as Tobias Harris doesn't play. If Harris plays than Tony Allen makes for a decent low-tier play. The small forward position is filled with solid mid-tier/low-tier plays as Al-Farouq Aminu and Danilo Gallinari will crush their value.
The power forward position is led by Serge Ibaka for the second straight game as front court players usually dominate vs the Nuggets. Brandon Bass is a superb option as he'll continue to play huge minutes for the Celtics. Go with LaMarcus Aldridge if you have the extra money and can spend up for one power forward. I do like Nikola Vucevic tonight, but Marc Gasol costs a lot less than him on most sites, even though he'll produce similar numbers as Vucevic.
Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for February 22nd:
Point Guards
| Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |
| Russell Westbrook | Thunder | 7,450 | 11,000 | 10,600 | Produces huge games when Durant doesn't play |
| Mo Williams | Hornets | 4,400 | 5,400 | 4,800 | Played almost 40 minutes on Sat and DAL is brutal vs PGs |
| George Hill | Pacers | 4,600 | 5,400 | 5,400 | Still a great value for a starting PG |
Shooting Guards
| Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |
| Klay Thompson | Warriors | 5,400 | 7,100 | 7,600 | Solid matchup as he put up 55 FP last time he faced the Pacers |
| Evan Fournier | Magic | 4,100 | 4,100 | 4,200 | Starting and is practically minimum price |
| Gerald Henderson | Hornets | 4,800 | 5,700 | 5,600 | Safe mid-tier option |
Small Forwards
| Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |
| Al-Farouq Aminu | Mavericks | 4,000 | 4,800 | 4,500 | Will be forced to play huge minutes with Parsons out |
| Danilo Gallinari | Nuggets | 3,700 | 3,800 | 4,400 | Love his price on Aces/FD as he is starting for the Nuggets |
| Luc Mbah a Moute | Sixers | 4,000 | 5,000 | 4,500 | Safe low-tier play. Like R. Covington as an expensive play |
Power Forwards

| Marc Gasol | Grizzlies | 5,950 | 7,900 | 7,400 | Will be a close game and he'll produce in all categories |
| Tyler Zeller | Celtics | 4,250 | 4,800 | 4,900 | Amazing matchup and super cheap across the board |
| Jordan Hill | Lakers | 4,750 | 5,800 | 5,500 | Came back strong vs BKN and doesn't cost much on DK |
