Huge night in the NBA as there are 11 games on the slate tonight. There are plenty of good value plays, which will allow you to get a few studs in your lineup. Feel really good about these picks tonight.

The point guard position is led by Stephen Curry, who has absolutely dominated the Lakers this season. There are some really good value plays at the position as well. Choosing a shooting guard depends on the site, as there are some really good players that are cheaper on DraftKings than on Fanduel. Therefore, I'm going with value plays on Fanduel, but spending on shooting guards on DraftKings. Expect another solid game from LeBron James, but there are some really good value plays at small forward tonight, which makes it hard to spend on LeBron.

The power forward position is a complete mess tonight as the higher tier players are unlikely to meet value and there aren't a lot of good value plays at the position either. That is why I'm spending up on Anthony Davis on Fanduel. The center position has some easy choices because there are some great mid-tier plays at the position.

Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for December 23rd:
