The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook has been on fire (in a good way) this season and we're looking forward to continuing that success with another big performance tonight. You will want to have a balanced roster tonight by only using a few cheap players, which will allow you to balance out your roster out with a lot of second tier players. The point guard position is filled with solid mid-tier players, so we have a hard time spending big money on that position. There are only have a few options at shooting guard and small forward because those positions are simple choices tonight. The power forward position is filled with players that can out produce their medium level price tag. Either go big with DeMarcus Cousins or Nikola Vucevic, or go the cheaper route with Roy Hibbert or Marcin Gortat at center tonight. Let's get ready to rumble!
