The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook is back for a big night in the NBA as there are nine games on the slate tonight. If Dwyane Wade sits out, then that will open up a lot of things for the Heat team. Also, I do like Anthony Davis tonight, but his price is outrageous and I'd rather spend that big money on LeBron than Davis. The Hornets are dealing with a lot of injuries, which will mean more minutes for Kemba Walker and Lance Stephenson.
The point guard position is filled with so many great mid-tier level players that I have hard time paying up for Chris Paul. Staying away from the Rockets as they face a tough Grizzlies defense, so avoid James Harden and go with some lower priced players instead at shooting guard. The small forward is crap shoot after LeBron and Josh Smith, therefore, go with some dirt cheap options if you avoid those two players. The power forward position is filled with solid talent all around. However, the same cannot be said for the center position because there are a lot of over priced players that will have a tough time meeting their value. Time to get this week started off the right way..

| Damian Lillard | Blazers | 8,500 | 8,700 | Has 42+ FP in 3 straight games, price is steep though |
| Kemba Walker | Hornets | 7,200 | 7,100 | Love the matchup & averaging 38 FP at home |
| Brandon Jennings | Pistons | 7,100 | 7,000 | Solid PG option that will reach his value |
| Mario Chalmers | Heat | 5,300 | 4,600 | Great punt play option on FD, especially if Wade is out |
| Cory Joseph | Spurs | 3,100 | 3,500 | Should reach 20 FP in a blowout |

| Lance Stephenson | Hornets | 6,600 | 6,800 | Superb matchup with cheap price tag |
| Victor Oladipo | Magic | 6,100 | 7,300 | Basically a must-start on DK b/c of his low cost & high FP potential |
| Joe Johnson | Nets | 6,600 | 6,700 | Solid #2 SG on FD that is a basic lock for 30 FP |
| Gerald Green (SF on FD) | Suns | 4,500 | 5,100 | Boom/bust player for GPPs. |
