It is a busy night in the NBA with 10 games on the schedule on Friday night. There are a couple of really good value plays due to injuries and trades. Meanwhile, Russell Westbrook will continue his league domination when the Thunder face the Lakers. He's the number one play on the night if Kevin Durant misses the game because of an ankle injury. 

Westbrook is super expensive across the board, so Damian Lillard is a solid expensive play as well. There aren't a lot of good value plays at the point guard position tonight, which is why I'll be spending money on the higher tier players. Jimmy Butler leads the shooting guard position on Draftkings, but there are some really good value plays, which makes it hard to spend big money at that position. LeBron James is definitely in play tonight, but he has a steep price tag. Also, there are a couple of solid mid-tier and value plays that should easily exceed their value at small forward.

The power forward position is going to be dominated by Blake Griffin tonight. Otherwise, go with some cheaper options at that position. The center position is top heavy tonight with some great expensive plays and littered with mid-tier value plays as well.
