Welcome to the daily fantasy basketball Playbook for Wednesday, featuring DFS picks, strategy and advice from Sporting News partners FantasyAlarm.com. There are nine games on the NBA schedule tonight, including Steph Curry and the Warriors traveling to Utah. There are also lots of potentially resting/injured players, including DeMarcus Cousins, Kyle Lowry and Kristaps Porzingis, to name just a few.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is virtually a must-own at SF tonight, but if you're looking to differentiate your lineup, the PF position is a good place to start. There are bunch of big-time options, which means the lower-tier sleepers could provide good value. Point guard is loaded, but SG and C also provide plenty of options for your FanDuel and DraftKings contests.
