Nothing better than some daily fantasy basketball during the weekend. Luckily, there are seven games on the NBA slate for Saturday night. There are some really good value plays that will allow you to pay up for a stud or two. The point guard position is led by Kyle Lowry, who will have another monster game, and the rest of the position is filled with quality value plays.
The shooting guard position has so many great lower tier plays that it makes it hard to spend up for James Harden. Joe Johnson has played some of his best basketball vs the Pistons this season, which is why he's a great play tonight. The small forward position is lacking the big name player to spend big money on, so this is a great position to save some money at.
The power forward position is littered with elite talent as LaMarcus Aldridge is going to have his way with the Orlando Magic and Pau Gasol has a great matchup vs the Bucks. The center position is filled quality value plays as well and most of the higher tier players are unlikely to reach value.
Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for January 10th:
