Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks: Friday's lineup advice, values image

Friday's slate features eight games, and you can expect some surprises. The unpredictably of the NBA is only going to get worse as we enter the final four weeks of the season, which makes coming up with a winning strategy for daily fantasy basketball contests all the more difficult.

Here's what we know: Eric Bledsoe has been shut down, Dwyane Wade is out for the rest of the year, Isaiah Thomas is out at least two games, and it's reasonable to expect the Nets to rest some players tonight, as well. I will update the Playbook over at Fantasy Alarm as we get more information throughout the day.
