The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook is finding it's groove after another solid night last night that was highlighted by Kawhi Leonard dropping almost 50 fantasy points. Tonight is all about finding value and the best value on the board is "Razor" Ramon Sessions, who will be starting for the Kings in place of Darren Collison. Also, the Spurs could be sitting a few players ,which would lead to some other value plays as well.
The point guard position is filled with quality options that makes it harder to roster Stephen Curry, but Curry will still put up big numbers. DeMarcus Cousins is the the other player that is worth spending big bucks on tonight as the center position is filled with over priced players. The shooting guard position has so much value there that it is hard to spend a lot of money at that position. Get Rudy Gay in lineups as the small forward position lacks another star at that position. The power forward position has a lot of question marks with few value plays, which makes it one of the hardest positions to figure out tonight. Onward to victory!

Stephen Curry | Warriors | 10,200 | 10,200 | Averaging a cool 53 FP per game this season. Does everything for the Warriors |
Damian Lillard | Blazers | 7,600 | 8,300 | Love the value on DK. Hornets don't defend PG's that well |
Reggie Jackson | Thunder | 6,500 | 7,800 | Not touching on FD, but a superb value play on DK |
Ramon Sessions | Kings | 3,000 | 3,900 | Practically a must-start tonight as he will be the starting PG with Collison out. |

DeMar DeRozan | Raptors | 8,100 | 8,300 | He's expensive, but did drop 39 FP vs Orl earlier this season |
Wesley Matthews | Blazers | 6,100 | 5,700 | Will be asked to do more with Batum out. Love as my #1 SG on FD |
Courtney Lee | Grizzlies | 4,100 | 5,300 | No clue why a player averaging 25+ FP is so cheap. |
