The Playbook keeps on trucking with six games on the slate for Tuesday night. John Wall (assuming he plays) and LeBron James are the top two plays tonight with Pau Gasol a close third. There are plenty of quality value plays across the board that will allow you to get at least two stud players in your DraftKings lineups.

D.J. Augustin’s price did rise a bit, but he’s still a great option because he’s going to perform like a top-tier point guard without the high price tag. Beno Udrih becomes an exceptional value play if Mike Conley is ruled out with a sprained wrist/ankle. The best option at shooting guard is Klay Thompson, but his price tag is extremely high. Also, there are a couple of great cheap plays at the position that you have to use if you want to get a stud player in your lineup. LeBron James is going to have his way the Pistons and he’s produced 50-plus fantasy points in three straight games. Paul Pierce is questionable, so I’m not as high on him on Fanduel because I couldn’t switch him out if he doesn’t play. I’d roll with Rasual Butler if Pierce sits or might just avoid that situation all together.
The power forward position is loaded at the top with Pau Gasol and Zach Randolph, as both players are going to have huge games. However, there aren’t a lot of quality value options at the position. On the other hand, the center position is filled with quality mid-tier plays, which is why this is the best position to save money at. Don’t expect another huge night from Hassan Whiteside, but he’ll still produce close to 30 fantasy points.
