Welcome to the Sunday edition of the playbook. Plenty of action with six games on the evening slate. Serge Ibaka and Mo Williams are my favorite plays of the night as Ibaka has a sensational matchup and the Thunder will need him to play huge minutes with all the injuries to their squad, while Mo Williams has a high floor and faces a weak defensive team in Orlando.
The point guard position is loaded tonight as Tyreke Evans, Mo Williams and D.J. Augustin are all great options. Stephen Curry isn't a bad option, but it is hard to pay up for him considering his high price tag. D.J. Augustin is going to get all the minutes he can handle with Russell Westbrook out and should crush his value on DraftKings/Aces. The shooting guard position has a couple of really nice options at the top in Klay Thompson and Eric Gordon. Rodney Stuckey and Anthony Morrow are great GPP options because both players can put up points in bunches if they catch fire.
The small forward position isn't as bad as it usually is because Rudy Gay and Draymond Green are quality options. However, there isn't that much value at the position. The power forward position is all about the Thunder front court as Serge Ibaka is going greatly exceed his value, while Mitch McGary will see more playing time with Enes Kanter out, which will lead to more fantasy points. There are only two route to go at center tonight: pay up for Nikola Vucevic or go the cheap route with Omer Asik.
Here is the Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook for March 1st, 2015:
Point Guards
Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |
Tyreke Evans | Pelicans | 5,800 | 8,400 | 7,700 | Has at least 38 FP in 3 straight games and Denver is brutal vs PGs |
Mo Williams | Hornets | 4,750 | 5,900 | 6,400 | Floor of 30 FP with the ability to blow up for a big game |
D.J. Augustin | Thunder | 4,300 | 6,700 | 4,100 | Practically a must-start on Aces/DK, but not a fan of his high price tag on FD |
Jordan Clarkson | Lakers | 4,100 | 5,400 | 4,900 | Great low-tier option |
Shooting Guards
Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |

Eric Gordon | Pelicans | 4,800 | 6,300 | 6,000 | Safe mid-tier option for cash games |
Rodney Stuckey | Pacers | 4,650 | 5,200 | 5,300 | Good GPP option that is averaging 33 FP in 3 games vs PHI this season |
Anthony Morrow | Thunder | 3,500 | 3,700 | 3,500 | Superb punt play that will be asked to take more shots with RW out |
Small Forwards

Jae Crowder | Celtics | 4,000 | 4,600 | 4,700 | Still super cheap on Aces despite producing at least 23 FP in 4 straight games |
Power Forwards
Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |
Serge Ibaka | Thunder | 5,400 | 7,300 | 7,600 | Must-start as he'll be forced to do everything for Thunder |

Centers
Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |
Nikola Vucevic | Magic | 6,250 | 8,600 | 8,600 | Best option at the position, especially since he's averaging almost 40 FP vs CHA this season |
Omer Asik | Pelicans | 4,600 | 4,900 | 4,900 | Solid value at the position as he'll flirt with 30 FP |
