The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook has you covered on a busy night in the NBA as there are 10 games being played on Tuesday night. Kevin Durant is back in action, but his price is super high and he's going to be restricted to 30 minutes of playing time. This hurts Russell Westbrook's value as well. Love LeBron James tonight, but do not believe he returns value because of the blowout potential.
The point guard position is filled with quality expensive players, solid mid-tier players, and value plays. There are a couple of really good value plays at the shooting guard position. Not a big fan of the small forward position outside of Josh Smith and Rudy Gay.
The power forward position is similar to the point guard position with a few great expensive plays mixed with some extraordinary value plays. Save money at the center position tonight by avoiding some of the higher priced players. While I do love DeMarcus Cousins' matchup, I'm not sure how healthy he's going to be and he could struggle as he recovers from an illness.
Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for December 2nd, 2014:

| Jimmy Butler | Bulls | 7,500 | 8,000 | Having a career year. Better value on DK |
| Rodney Stuckey | Pacers | 4,600 | 5,000 | Streaky shooter that should put up huge numbers vs PHX |
