Busy night in the night in the NBA as there are 10 games on the schedule on Wednesday. There are plenty of value plays due to injuries, which will allow you to get James Harden and/or LeBron James in your lineup.

The point guard position is led by Dennis Schroeder, who's going to a huge boost in playing time with Jeff Teague out. There are a couple of really good mid-tier value plays at the position as well. James Harden is the top play of the night and he'll be in most of my lineups despite his huge price tag. It is easier to get LeBron James into lineups on Fanduel, while Khris Middleton's production is going to soar because Jabari Parker will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL.

Not of a fan of the power forward position tonight, so I'm not going to spend at that position, unless there is money left over to spend on Tim Duncan. There are so many quality value plays at center that it makes it hard to spend a lot of money on that position.

Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for December 17th:
