The Daily Fantasy Playbook is here for tonight's NBA action. It is weird night in the NBA on a 6 game slate. There are quite a few potential blowouts tonight so you want to be careful about loading up on anyone particular team. You can find plenty of value plays with guys being rested and other players out due to injury. The match-up for Dallas would feel a lot better but they are on their 3rd game in 4 days with the starters logging heavy minutes lately. It is one of the reasons Dirk Nowitzki is getting the night off.
If you are paying up for a star tonight, James Harden is guy to go with. Harden is struggling with his shot lately but the Rockets are thin due to injuries right now so he should get plenty of looks. LeBron James has been hot lately but his price is steep along the potential for a blowout makes him a GPP play. There is value to be had at every position but in particular the center spot will be a nice position to find value to afford the more expensive players.
