The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook had another huge night on Sunday, thanks in-large part to Marc Gasol dominating the Clippers and the small forward plays, like Wesley Johnson and Wilson Chandler, having big nights as well. There are seven games on the NBA slate tonight and there are plenty of good value plays due to injuries to Dwight Howard and Roy Hibbert.
The point guard position is going to be dominated by Chris Paul, but some other higher tier plays are going to have big games as well. James Harden is basically a must-start at the shooting guard position because there's a huge drop off at that position. The small forward position is pretty brutal tonight, so Gordon Hayward makes for a solid play to solidify that position.
A lot of high priced options at power forward, but Pau Gasol is the best option out of those players. There are plenty of value plays at that position. Love the options at center tonight, especially since Ian Mahinmi is going to get the start at center with Roy Hibbert out, so take full advantage of that.
I also wanted to send a special shoutout to Ava Mans (Jeff's Daughter) as she recovers from tonsil surgery today that she makes a quick recovery as well Alexis Schuster (my daugther) who is celebrating her 11th Birthday.
