The Playbook had another solid outing on Sunday and will look forward to repeating that success on Monday night. There are a lot of injures to watch tonight that could open things up as Ty Lawson, Derrick Rose, Zach Randolph, and LaMarcus Aldridge are all questionable. If any of those players end up being ruled out, then that would open up things for some really good value plays.

It is worth spending money at the point guard position, unless some of the players noted above do not play. Stephen Curry will have a big night and is the number one point guard tonight. Kemba Walker is a solid number one option on Fanduel if you can't afford one of the higher tier players. The shooting guard position is a lot easier to fill on DraftKings than on Fanduel because the price of the better players aren't as high as they are on Fanduel. It is worth getting James Harden in your lineups on Fanduel. The Small forward position is filled with value plays, which makes it easy to save money on that position.

LaMarcus Aldridge dominates the Houston Rockets, but he's listed as questionable. Otherwise, he'd be my top play of the night. I'll likely take him out of my lineups on Fanduel if his status doesn't change before tip-off. It is worth spending money on centers tonight as there are a lot of solid expensive options and not that many good value plays.

Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for December 22nd:
