The Fantasy Basketball Playbook was looking great last night until the Pistons and Hawks decided to bench their starters during the second half of the game. That right there is just some bad luck. Feeling good about today's picks despite there being 10 games on the slate tonight.
The point guard position has some great expensive plays and some solid value plays as well. The shooting guard position is a bit tougher with some expensive players that will reach value, but not a lot of value plays at that position. Killed it with my small forward picks last night and I feel great about the value picks at that position tonight.
The power forward position has a couple of high priced players that will have big nights. However, I'm staying away from most of the Clippers/Magic players because that game is likely going to be a blowout. The center position is the hardest position to pick tonight, unless Nikola Vucevic sits out, which would lead to Kyle O'Quinn being the starting center and a must-start across the board.
