The Playbook crushed it on Saturday and Sunday, but time to focus on Monday's eight game slate. There are some high priced players that are worth getting into your lineup tonight. That is actually easy to do on Fanduel with so many great value plays.
C.J. Watson has an incredible matchup, is starting for the Pacers, and is cheap across the board, which is why he's going to be in a majority of my lineups. Can't go wrong with Chris Paul or Kyle Lowry in your lineups if you're going to spend at the point guard. Love the value plays at shooting guard tonight as there aren't a lot of great options at that position. LeBron James is the top small forward tonight (really going out on a limb there), but he's better on Fanduel because his price tag is cheaper and it's easier to fit him in lineups.
The Bulls dominate the power forward position as both Taj Gibson and Pau Gasol are great plays tonight. Haven't been spending big money at the center position recently, which has worked out well for me, so going to continue that trend tonight.
Always enjoy getting your feedback on the playbook and happy to answer lineup questions, so holler at me (@Datrueguru) on twitter.
