Only five games on Tuesday night, but it should be another successful night for the Playbook. There are plenty of value plays at each position, which will allow you to roster some stud players such as LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard.

The point guard position has a couple of great plays as I prefer Damian Lillard over Stephen Curry because Lillard costs a lot less than Curry and he’s going to put up at least 40 fantasy points. Also, Lillard has put up 44 fantasy points in back-to-back games despite making only making six shots in 19-20 attempts in each of those games. If he can shoot close to fifty percent than he’ll have a great chance to reach 50 fantasy points. D.J. Augustin has been putting up huge numbers since Brandon Jennings has been out, therefore, he’s a great play on across the board. The shooting guard position is filled with mediocre players, so I’ll avoid using any of them on Fantasy Aces. Most people are going to want to target Klay Thompson, but his price tag is crazy high across the board. He’s only a GPP option because he’s unlikely to reach value. 

The small forward position is a lot like the shooting guard position, except the mid-tier plays are actually good options. Carmelo Anthony is the best player at the position, but his price tag is extremely high on all sites, so I’d roll with him in some GPPs, but would rather save money at that position for cash games. 

The power forward position is littered with value plays in Brandon Bass, Louis Amundson, and Jason Smith. However, I’m still going to want to get LaMarcus Aldridge in my lineup because he’s been putting monster numbers recently and he’ll have another big game vs the Jazz. The center position is basically Hassan Whiteside and every one else. He’s going to be in all of my lineups, especially on Fantasy Aces, where he’s less than five grand. Time to grind!
