The Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook was a slam dunk last night, but now it is time to prepare for the games tonight. There are only five games on the slate for Monday night, but the main question is whether to go with LeBron James or Anthony Davis in your starting lineup? Both are great options, but Davis is priced a higher than LeBron and the power forward position has a lot of solid options, while the small forward position is filled with lower tier players. Therefore, LeBron is the better play over Davis.
The point guard position is has a great mix of mid-tier players and value plays. The shooting guard position is a fantasy gold mine for value plays that will produce big fantasy numbers. However, the center position is filled with over priced players that will be lucky to reach value, which makes it an excellent position to punt. Also, try to avoid the Chicago Bulls point guard situation as that situation is a complete mess right now because of Derrick Rose's injury (or lack of toughness).
Point Guards
| Player | Team | DraftKings | Fanduel | Comments |
| Jrue Holiday | Pelicans | 7,300 | 7,400 | #1 PG on the price & production. Triple-double threat |

| Kawhi Leonard | Spurs | 5,600 | 6,200 | Good value on DK, but still not shooting well |

| Al Horford | Hawks | 7,300 | 7,500 | Best of the expensive centers |
