The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook bounced back in a big way last night, but that was with only four games on the slate. There are 11 games going on tonight, which means it is crucial to get big games from your studs. Injuries will lead to some very good values as Minnesota's starting frontcourt is out and the Memphis Grizzlies might be missing half their squad because of a stomach virus.
The point guard position has so many great players at that position that it is hard to choose just one point guard. John Wall has a good at finishing as the number one overall player tonight. Find it hard it spend the big bucks on James Harden, so stick with the middle tier and value plays at the shooting guard position. Small forward has a couple of players that are worth using because of their great matchup. Meanwhile, the power forward position is mediocre tonight as the top players at that position are unlikely to return good value on thier high price tag. The center position is simple tonight as Gorgui Dieng is going to be the main play at that position, but Marc Gasol is going to have a big game tonight as well.
Point Guards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| John Wall | Wizards | 9,500 | 9,100 | Solid matchup & averaging 52 FP at home |
| Brandon Knight | Bucks | 7,500 | 7,200 | BKN gives up the 2nd highest FP to opposing PG |
| Tony Wroten | 76ers | 5,700 | 6,700 | Incredible value on DK. Averaging 47 FP at home this season |
| Mike Conley | Grizzlies | 6,700 | 7,100 | Will play close to 40 minutes if Beno Udrih sits out |
| Donald Sloan | Pacers | 4,800 | 5,400 | Good punt play |
Shooting Guards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Iman Shumpert | Knicks | 3,900 | 5,400 | A must-start on DK as he's easily going to get 25+ FP |
| Lance Stephenson | Pacers | 6,700 | 6,900 | Boom/bust play as this is a huge revenge game for him |
| Eric Bledsoe | Suns | 6,600 | 6,700 | Cheap price for a player with his potential. G. Green is also a good GPP play |
| Nick Young | Lakers | 3,500 | 5,100 | Not a fan of his, but will get plenty of shots and he's super cheap on DK |
Small Forwards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Jeff Green | Celtics | 6,900 | 6,900 | 76ers are brutal Vs SF's. Averaged 32/5.5/2 & 2 blocks @ Philly last season |
| Tobias Harris | Magic | 7,300 | 7,200 | Does it all for the Magic. |
| Jeremy Lamb (SG on DK) | Thunder | 5,600 | 5,400 | Love as a #2 SF on FD |
| Corey Brewer | T-Wolves | 4,000 | 4,500 | Cheap play that continues to produce around 24 FP |
| Quincy Pondexter (SG on DK) | Grizzlies | 3,000 | 3,600 | Amazing value play if Tony Allen & C. Lee miss tonight's game |
Power Forwards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Tim Duncan | Spurs | 8,200 | 7,700 | Big game coming from Timmy. Better play on FD |
| Greg Monroe | Pistons | 7,200 | 6,900 | PHX frontcourt D can't contain Monroe |
| Jared Sullinger | Celtics | 7,300 | 6,800 | Will be very little defense played in this game |
| Kris Humphries | Wizards | 4,100 | 4,100 | Solid cap relief play that has 25+ FP in 3 straight games |
Centers
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Marc Gasol | Grizzlies | 7,400 | 7,900 | Lowest he's been on DK all season & has a superb matchup |
| Gorgui Dieng | T-Wolves | 5,000 | 4,900 | N.Pekovic and T. Young are out so Dieng will see huge minutes. Will be heavily owned |
| Zaza Pachulia | Bucks | 3,000 | 4,000 | Solid cap relief play if Larry Sanders sits |
