Daily Fantasy Basketball Playbook: Best FanDuel, DraftKings picks and advice for Jan. 8 image

Will Stephen Curry (shin) play tonight? That's a huge question that will affect the daily fantasy basketball Playbook for Friday, featuring DFS picks and advice from Sporting News partners FantasyAlarm.com. Even if Curry plays, as expected, we'll have a tough time paying up for him at less than 100 percent. For that reason, we love Klay Thompson and Draymond Green tonight. Also, be sure to check out SN's FanDuel NBA lineup picks for Friday night. 

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!
