The Daily Fantasy Playbook was hit and miss last night, but a lot of that had to do with the fact that there were EIGHT games that were blowouts. Hopefully the games will be a lot closer tonight, so the starting players can actually reach or exceed their value.
The point guard position is loaded with value plays because of injuries and starters that are cheaper than usual. Meanwhile, the shooting guard position is headlined by James Harden, but there aren't a lot of good options at that position tonight. Staying away from LeBron at small forward because there are a lot of solid mid-tier plays that have a great chance to have a big fantasy night.
Not spending a lot of money at the power forward position because it is slim pick-ins at that position tonight, so will save money at that position. Love the lower tier options at center tonight, which makes it hard to spend on the top three centers( Bosh, Vucevic, & Counsins).
