BIG night in the NBA with 12 games on the slate.There are quality value plays at each position, while the top-tier players aren’t great value plays and Russell Westbrook is no longer a must-start with Durant back. I love Anthony Davis tonight, but his price tag is absurd.

The point guard position is led by Jeff Teague because the Hawks will need him to have a big game if they want any shot at beating the Warriors. Still like D.J. Augustin as he’s averaging 50! fantasy points in four out of the past six games. It was the second game of a back-to-back in each of the two games he played poorly in. Marcus Smart and George Hill are solid value plays at the position. The shooting guard position is filled with quality mid-tier plays that it makes it hard to pay up for any of the top-tier players. James Harden is a good GPP option as he will blow up for a big game as long as he doesn’t aggravate his knee injury.

Really like Gordon Hayward and Kawhi Leonard, but will only play one of them because there are plenty of safe mid-tier plays. However, there aren’t that many low-tier options that are worth using at small forward. The power forward is tough to figure out tonight because a lot of the stud players at the top are unlikely to reach value. Jared Sullinger is one of the best options at the position, but make sure he starts. Also, Markieff Morris will see an uptick in minutes with Alex Len out. I’m going to be using Roy Hibbert as my main center tonight because he doesn’t cost that much, but more importantly, Ian Mahinmi and Lavoy Allen are both expected to be out, which means Hibbert is going to play most of the minutes at center. The center position is not a good place to find value, so if you don’t go with Hibbert, then spend up for a more expensive player. Good luck tonight!
