Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving filled with food, booze, and family. As great as Thanksgiving was, I'm happy it is over because that means the NBA is back. There are 12 games on the slate for tonight's action, so there are a lot of players to choose from. The injury bug has effected plenty of teams, which leads to great value plays in DFS, so make sure to take advantage of that.
The point guard position has plenty of solid mid-tier options and a couple of really good value plays. The shooting guard position is top heavy with James Harden and Eric Bledsoe leading the way.
Meanwhile, the small forward position has a lot of mid-tier players that should all produce 30 plus fantasy points. Not really feeling the high priced at power forward because a lot of those players are over priced and it is a great position to save money at. Same thing can be said about center as DeMarcus Cousins is out and while I do like Nikola Vucevic, his price is extremely high.
Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for November 28, 2014:
