Welcome to the daily fantasy basketball Playbook for Thursday, featuring DFS picks, strategy and advice from Sporting News partners FantasyAlarm.com. The NCAA Tournament might be dominating the basketball landscape today, but there are eight games on the NBA schedule tonight.
The biggest worry for DFS owners tonight might be whether Kyle Lowry gets a day of rest tonight or Friday, but there are still plenty of good values at guard for FanDuel contests tonight.
