The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook had another solid night last night and if it wasn't for Eric Bledsoe taking a giant crap on the court (well,on the bench, since he barely played), it would've been another epic night. The Fantasy Alarm team did quite well last night and so can you by following the players recommended in the playbook. Tonight is one of those nights where you have to find some value players in order to get some higher tier players in your lineup. Rudy Gay is the best option at small forward as LeBron James price tag is absurd. A lot of solid middle tier point guard options tonight. Strictly going with value plays at shooting guard because there are low priced players that will put up big numbers. A lot to like at the power forward position tonight as Patrick Patterson is basically a must-start because the Raptors are going to be without Amir Johnson and Jonas Valanciunas, which means Patterson is going to get heavy minutes. Your quest for victory starts now!
