The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook was looking mighty fine last night until Ricky Rubio got hurt, but good thing we get a fresh start for tonight's action. There are only seven games on the slate this Saturday night, so there is slim pickings at certain positions.
The point guard position has a couple of pricey options and there is one cheap option that could blow up for a huge game. Rolling with the same shooting guards as last night because they performed well and their prices are pretty much the same. The small forward position is filled with garbage, but there are still some good value plays. The power forward and center positions have a lot of talent, but are going to be costly positions. Time to grind!

Shooting Guards
Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
Kevin Martin | T-Wolves | 5,700 | 6,200 | Love the vale across the board. Floor is 30 FP for K-Mart |
Jimmy Butler | Bulls | 5,400 | 6,700 | Must-start on DK b/c of the low price tag & he's averaging almost 40 FP on DK |
Courtney Lee | Grizzlies | 3,800 | 4,500 | Love as #2 SG on FD. Best shooter on the team |
Small Forwards
Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
Draymond Green | Warriors | 5,700 | 5,400 | Is going to start with D. Lee out. Is a boom/bust play |
Chris Copeland | Pacers | 5,300 | 5,400 | Love him as a #2 SF on FD, especially since he's starting. Using him across the board |
Trevor Ariza | Rockets | 6,300 | 6,400 | Better on DK that counts 3PM. Play if you have the extra $$ |
Power Forwards
Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
Pau Gasol | Bulls | 7,500 | 8,400 | 40 FP is basically a lock for Pau. Still cheap on DK |
Zach Randolph | Grizzlies | 7,600 | 7,800 | Solid #1 PF on FD. Will feast on the MIL front court |
Amar'e Stoudemire | Knicks | 5,000 | 5,600 | Consistent 25 FP producer. |
Thaddeus Young | T-Wolves | 6,700 | 7,400 | Great value on DK & a solid matchup to boot |
Jared Sullinger | Celtics | 6,900 | 6,800 | Cheaper option that will produce 30 FP, but has a tough matchup |
Centers
Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
Chris Bosh | Heat | 8,800 | 9,300 | #1 center because of matchup and consistency. |
Al Horford | Hawks | 7,400 | 7,600 | Will pile up the rebounds vs the Knicks. His price is low on all sites |
Omer Asik | Pelicans | 6,200 | 5,600 | Averaging a double-double this season & the Spurs can't handle his size |
