While there were some good recommendations last night, there were some bombs as well. I apologize for that, but that is why it is crucial to play in cash games (50/50) because you can still cash in those types of contest even when one of your player bombs (like Kyle O'Quinn). There are a couple of stud players to pay up for tonight and the value plays on DraftKings is mind boggling.
The point guard position is filled with value plays, so the only player that is worth paying up for is John Wall, who has owned the Celtics this season. The higher tier shooting guards are easy to get in lineups on Draftkings, but it is not an easy position to fill on Fanduel. The small forward position is filled with mediocrity, so I'm going to be saving money at that position.
Paul Millsap is one of the best plays tonight because his price tag is not that high and he'll have another quality outing. Anthony Davis is going to have a big game as well, especially with Pau Gasol trying to guard him, but he's more of a GPP play because of his expensive price tag. There aren't a lot of quality options at center tonight, so spending up for Marc Gasol is a smart decision.
Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for December 27th:
Point Guards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Trey Burke | Jazz | 3,000 | 4,900 | Must-start on DK b/c of super low price |
| Tony Wroten | Sixers | 4,300 | 6,200 | Insane how cheap he is on DK. |
| John Wall | Wizards | 10,400 | 9,800 | Has destroyed BOS this season by averaging 61 FP vs them. |
| Brandon Knight | Bucks | 6,800 | 7,000 | Safe mid-tier play. Had 32 FP in 27 minutes vs ATL last night |
| Jarrett Jack | Nets | 4,900 | 5,000 | Superb matchup & playing almost 36 minutes per game |
Shooting Guards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments | | Jimmy Butler | Bulls | 8,000 | 9,100 | Love his price on DK. Same with Wade. | | Tony Allen | Grizzlies | 3,700 | 4,100 | Gets steals & is super cheap for a starting player | | Victor Oladipo | Magic | 5,900 | 6,000 | Safe mid-tier value play | | Joe Johnson | Nets | 6,700 | 6,700 | Like his high upside |
|
Small Forwards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Jeff Green | Celtics | 6,100 | 6,000 | Plays great vs WSH. Averaging 35 FP vs them in 2 games |
| Jared Dudley | Bucks | 3,700 | 4,400 | The minutes have been there with Parker. Safe punt play |
| Gordon Hayward | Jazz | 8,100 | 7,800 | Worth spending up on him if you have the extra cash on FD |
| Solomon Hill | Pacers | 3,700 | 4,600 | Will see an increase in minutes with Miles out. Boom/bust play |
Power Forwards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Paul Millsap | Hawks | 8,200 | 8,100 | Lock for 40 FP |
| Nerlens Noel | Sixers | 5,000 | 6,000 | Great value play on DK. Has 30+ FP in 4 out of the past 5 games |
| Anthony Davis | Pelicans | 11,600 | 11,300 | No way Pau can contain Davis, but his price is super expensive |
| Derrick Favors | Jazz | 7,600 | 6,900 | Best of the mid-tier value plays. |
Centers
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Marc Gasol | Grizzlies | 9,300 | 9,000 | Usage rate is super high with Z-Bo out. Miami has no one that can play with Gasol |
| Tyler Zeller | Celtics | 4,900 | 5,400 | Consistent 25 FP producer. Like Olynyk for GPP's on DK instead of Zeller |
| Kyle O'Quinn | Magic | 5,500 | 5,100 | Bombed last night, expect a bounce back tonight |
| Gorgui Dieng | T-Wolves | 7,100 | 6,600 | Solid value on FD. GSW have no one that can defend him |
