Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook: Best FanDuel, DraftKings picks and advice for Jan. 20 image

Welcome to the daily fantasy basketball Playbook for Wenesday, featuring DFS picks and advice from Sporting News partners FantasyAlarm.com. The point guard position is loaded with Steph Curry at the top, but there are plenty of great PG selections, making it hard to spend up for him. We'd rather pay up for Jimmy Butler and/or DeMarcus Cousins. Meanwhile, be sure to check out SN's FanDuel lineup for more value plays (marked with an * below). 

As usual, the experts at FantasyAlarm.com will publish their top daily fantasy basketball picks at each position across various DFS sites in the Playbook (free preview below). Playbook PRO members get even more daily fantasy basketball advice, along with detailed analysis and strategies, suggested team "stacks" and optimal daily fantasy lineups. Also, PRO members get access to all the DFS Playbooks and tools for every sport, including NFL, college football and NHL, with one subscription. So, check out tonight's free daily fantasy basketball plays below, and check out  FantasyAlarm.com's premium product when you're ready to go PRO!
