Yea Buddy! The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook was a huge success last night as I won the NBA $10K Tip-Off last night on FantasyAces.com (thanks in-large part to Donald Sloan & Tony Wroten).Let us keep the good times rolling. Tonight is one of nights that it is better to play more double-ups and 50/50s because it's a small slate of games(5) with some teams on the second night of back-to-back games, which can cause unusual minutes for key players. The point guard position position is filled with elite players at the the top, but few value plays at the position. The center position is filled uncertainty with high priced players that under performed last night (except for Marcin Gortat, more on him below) and just not a lot of good options. Andre Drummond could blow-up for a big game or get in foul trouble, like last night, and kill your roster, so play him at your own risk. Time to grind!
