The Daily Fantasy Playbook has you covered for a big night in DFS as there are a lot of big money tournaments out there tonight because of the nine game slate. Worried about the Trailblazers as they player their fourth game in five nights, but still like LaMarcus Aldridge tonight. Anthony Davis is playing, in other words, his price is sky high, but so is his production as he's averaging 58 fantasy points per game this season. I'll let that sink in for a second....
The point guard position is worth spending a little bit of cash on tonight as there are a couple of great mid-tier options available. The shooting guard is filled with value plays that will out produce their cheap price tag. The small forward is another position that is hard to spend big money on tonight because of the lack of talent at the top and the solid production that the lower priced players can produce. Spend big at the power position with Davis or Aldridge. This is another night that the center position is over priced at the top, so it is better to go with a cheaper option at that position. Also, I added a couple of extra punt plays for GPPs. Feel free to holler at me on twitter (@DaTrueGuru) with any of your fantasy basketball questions.
