Tired of losing to players with dozens of entries into the same DFS contests? Play with us over on Fantasy Aces and greatly improve your chances to win big cash in daily fantasy hoops every single day.
Plenty of action in the NBA with 11 games on the slate throughout the day, five of those games are just for the early slate. I have players for both the early and late slate of games incase you're playing contests that are all day. I'll update the playbook later today just for the late slate of games.
The point guard position is absolutely loaded tonight with great options at the top-tier and mid-tier. Russell Westbrook is basically a lock for 60 fantasy points, while John Wall has an amazing matchup and has been on tear recently. However, targeting the mid-tier options is the best way to approach the position as Elfrid Payton, Goran Dragic, and Reggie Jackson will have big games and won't kill your budget. Tony Parker and Langston Galloway are good GPP options because they can blow up for big games or leave you feeling disappointed. Norris Cole is a great value option with Tyreke Evans out.
The shooting guard position has a couple of great mid-tier options in Danny Green and Bradley Beal. Green has been performing a lot better with Manu Ginobili out, Beal has an amazing matchup and has a floor of 25 fantasy points. The Denver/Orlando game is a great game to stack players as neither team plays much defense and the spread is a pick'em. Monta Ellis should have no problem exceeding value as his price tag is relatively cheap.
Can't remember the last time LeBron James was less than 10 thousand dollars on DraftKings, which is why he's an amazing option on that site. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a good option as well since he contributes stats in every category. Chase Budinger becomes a superb value option if Gary Neal and some of the other key Wolves' players sit out. Jae Crowder is starting in place of the suspended Marcus Smart. This makes Crowder a superb value option.
The power forward position is led by Kenneth Faried, who has a reasonable price tag despite his recent performance. Tim Duncan went beast mode last time he played the Hawks and is super cheap on DraftKings. Ersan Ilyasova finds himself in the playbook again because he continues to put up solid numbers and exceed value. The center position is lead by Andre Drummond as he put up 63 fantasy points last time he faced the Celtics. Steven Adams is the best value option at the position, especially if Enes Kanter is out.

| Bradley Beal | Wizards | 4,600 | 5,800 | 5,800 | Kings are one of the worst defensive teams vs SGs. Like K. Martin as well |
| Randy Foye | Nuggets | 3,900 | 4,800 | 4,800 | NOT PLAYING. Like Will Barton instead |
