Big slate of games on Monday, but they're scattered throughout the day. Therefore, I have a lot more plays then normal because some contests last all day, some last for only the early games, and some for only the late games, so this playbook will cover all of them. Plus, I'll try to update the playbook throughout the day to accommodate all contests, so make sure to keep checking back here for updates. Feel free to hit me up on twitter (@DaTrueGuru) for more advice. 

The point guard position is filled with great plays across the board as Derrick Rose is cheap and has been playing amazing basketball recently and John Wall flourishes at home and faces the defensive inept Sixers. The biggest situation to monitor is the Mike Conley injury, because Beno Udrih is practically a must-start if Conley misses his third straight game. The Shooting guard position is filled with quality mid-tier plays with Tyreke Evans, Klay Thompson, and Bradley Beal, but there aren't a lot of quality value plays at the position. The small forward position is going to be dominated by LeBron James, who announced that this is the healthiest he's been all season, which makes him one of the top plays of the day. The rest of the options at the position are nothing special.

The power forward position has plenty of great value plays on each site as Zach Randolph is under priced on DraftKings, while Jared Sullinger should have a huge game and doesn't cost a lot. There are a couple of really good cheap plays as well in J.J. Hickson and Brandon Bass. The center position has a couple of great options in Marc Gasol and Al Horford. Also, there could be a couple of great value plays if Anthony Davis sits out tonight. 

Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for January 19th:
