Last night's results were varied as the playbook did great on Fanduel, but not so well on DraftKings. Dirk Nowitzki didn't work out that well despite the low price tag, but that's just the way the ball bounces sometimes. There are only six games on the slate this Saturday, so a lot of the same players will be heavily owned.
While I do like what Chris Paul and Stephen Curry bring to the table, there are a good amount of cheaper point guards that will produce big numbers. The shooting guard is filled with value plays, otherwise I'd have no problem paying up for James Harden. Spend good money on at least one small forward tonight.
The top tier of players at the power forward position are all over priced, which makes Markieff Morris a great play tonight based on his consistent production and high ceiling. The center position is riddled with injuries so there's no need to spend big money there. Andre Drummond always has the chance for a massive game or he could do nothing and be a massive bust, so play him at your own risk.
