The Playbook had a huge night on Friday, but it's time to focus on Saturday's seven game slate. The point guard position has a couple of really good value plays in Marcus Smart and J.J. Barea. However, the best value play of the day could be Tim Frazier, who could see heavy minutes if Michael Carter-Williams is out. I'm avoiding the point guard situation in Sacramento as I feel like that is a no win situation.The shooting guard position is loaded with quality top-tier options in Jimmy Butler and Tyreke Evans. The same can be said for the small forward position with Rudy Gay and Gordon Hayward. However, Nicolas Batum continues to put 30-plus fantasy points a game and he has a low price tag.
The power forward position leaves a lot to be desired tonight as the top-tier options all have questions marks and there isn't a lot of safe value plays. Anthony Davis is worth spending up for on Fanduel because he's going to finish as the top power forward tonight. Al Jefferson is going to have a big game vs the lackluster Sixers front court, which is why he's my favorite center tonight. Joakim Noah continues to be under priced on DraftKings.
Here is the Daily Fantasy Playbook for February 7th:
Point Guards

Brandon Knight | Bucks | 5,300 | 7,900 | 7,200 | Consistent mid-tier play, but not a fan of his price tag on FD |
Jarrett Jack | Nets | 5,100 | 7,600 | 6,800 | Good matchup and he's playing huge minutes. |
Marcus Smart | Celtics | 4,300 | 4,900 | 4,600 | Safe low-tier option. |
Tim Frazier | Sixers | 3,000 | 3,500 | 3,000 | Exceptional punt play if Michael Carter-Williams is out |

Giannis Antetokounmpo | Bucks | 4,750 | 6,400 | 6,000 | Love his price tag on Aces. Safe mid-tier play |
Avery Bradley | Celtics | 4,400 | 5,100 | 4,500 | Consistent low-tier play that will play heavy minutes |

Gordon Hayward | Jazz | 5,750 | 8,100 | 7,800 | Like his ceiling. Rudy Gay is a great option as well |
Nicolas Batum | Blazers | 4,700 | 5,800 | 5,300 | Continues to put 30-plus FP and doesn't cost a lot |
Gerald Henderson | Hornets | 4,400 | 5,300 | 4,500 | Good low-tier play that has a high ceiling |
Luc Mbah a Moute | Sixers | 4,000 | 4,700 | 4,300 | Quality punt play that will play heavy minutes |

Marreese Speights | Warriors | 4,250 | 4,900 | 3,500 | GPP option that is super cheap on DK and will see extended minutes in a blowout |
Centers
Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |
Al Jefferson | Hornets | 5,700 | 8,000 | 7,600 | Is going to tear apart of the Sixers defense |
Joakim Noah | Bulls | 5,700 | 7,100 | 6,600 | Safe mid-tier option that is a quality value on DK |
Brook Lopez | Nets | 5,100 | 6,700 | 6,300 | Super high ceiling and doesn't cost that much |
