Good amount of action tonight in the NBA with six games on the schedule. There are plenty of value plays across the board, which will allow you get Anthony Davis, the top option tonight, in most of your lineups. LeBron James is a good option as well, but he doesn't have as big of a floor or ceiling as Davis.
The point guard position is filled with elite value options in Elfrid Payton, Tony Parker, and Norris Cole. Parker has stepped up his game as of late and Cole will get a big bump in minutes with Tyreke Evans out. Payton becomes a better play if Luke Ridnour is out. Reggie Jackson is another great option because of his ability to produce big fantasy numbers and he has a good matchup. The shooting guard position isn't hard to figure out: If Nikola Vucevic plays then you play DeMar DeRozan, who is the top option at the position, if Vucci Mane doesn't play then Oladipo is the best option at the position and is practically a must-start on all sites. The rest of the position is nothing special.
The small forward position is led by Kawhi Leonard, who continues to be a consistent fantasy option. LeBron James should only be played in GPPs, but I'll be fading him in most of my lineups. Tobias Harris is a safe mid-tier option. There are so many quality options at power forward that it is hard to pick just one or two of them. Anthony Davis is on a roll right now and should see more shots with Evans not playing, Greg Monroe has been super consistent as of late, and Thaddeus Young is a great value option as long as he starts. Also, Derrick Favors is a good option, especially if Gordon Hayward doesn't play because that would mean more shot opportunities for him. Carlos Boozer is a sneaky GPP option.
The center position is led by Andre Drummond, who will dominate the Lakers front court. Really starting to like Brook Lopez tonight because his price tag is not that high even though he has back-to-back games with 40-plus fantasy points. Rudy Gobert is a good option on Fanduel and Aces, but he's not worth paying up for on DraftKings.
