The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook is here to get you prepared for tonight's NBA action. The punt plays didn't work out so well last night and Rudy Gay was a major disappointment as well. Good thing tonight is a new night and there are already a couple key injuries to address as Joakim Noah is doubtful to play tonight, which means Taj Gibson becomes a great play. Also, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is out, which means Gerald Henderson is going to start in his place. However, that looks like fools gold, so I have the player that is really going to benefit from Kidd-Gilchrist's absence. A lot of solid options for point guards, but the small forward position is filled with land mines on Fanduel. The power forward position has a lot of great plays as well and we are rolling with one main center for tonight's action. Time to grind!

Point Guards

John WallWizards9,6009,100Averaging 11 AST per game. Has 50+ FP in two straight games
Brandon KnightBucks7,5007,500Has been one of the best PG this season. Sloan is a bad defender
Reggie JacksonThunder5,8007,200A must-play on DK with that small price. 30 FP is a lock for him
Donald SloanPacers6,0005,600Great #2 PG on FD. Hasn't produced less than 28 FP this season

Shooting Guards

Eric BledsoeSuns7,2007,700Best SG for the price. Had 38 FP in 26 min vs LAL earlier this season
Jimmy ButlerBulls5,0006,000Solid value across the board. 
Wesley MatthewsBlazers6,2005,900Would only play him on FD if I couldn't afford Butler
Gary NealHornets3,5004,100Will see an increase in minutes with MKG out. Believe he out performs G. Henderson like he has all season long
