The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook was on fire on Wednesday night, and it would've been a flawless victory if it wasn't for Iman Shumpert's one for 11 shooting performance. There are a lot of great value plays tonight as some reserve type of players are going to be starting because of injuries to some starters. Anthony Davis is the best play of the night, but his price tag is extremely high. However, I was able to get him in my lineups on Fanduel.
Don't spend big money at point guard tonight because there are plenty of value plays and players that will easily exceed their cheap price tag. The shooting guard position has a couple of good options at the middle-tier and one really good value play. The small forward position is going to be dominated by Tyreke Evans tonight and the cheap options on the Minnesota Timberwolves. The power forward position isn't that tough tonight because most people are going to use Taj Gibson (which is a smart move) and Anthony Davis is the clear number one player tonight. Most people are going to use Gorgui Dieng (which is smart on Fanduel), but there are some other good options to use at center tonight. Your path to victory begins now!
