Elite Players
Guards
LaMelo Ball, Hornets 
($9,400) at Pacers
Since returning from a five-game absence, Ball has played in two of the last three games and topped 30 DK points in both. He is up for a great opportunity to build momentum against the Pacers, who give up the league's third-most points per game to opposing point guards, and who continue to deal with injury trouble.

Jamal Murray, Nuggets 
($8,600) at Pelicans
Murray topped 50 DK points in each of the last two games and is averaging 23.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.5 steals across four outings since his last absence. He faces an ideal chance to shine against the Pelicans, who are shorthanded in the backcourt and giving up the league's seventh-most points per game to opposing point guards.
Forwards/Centers
Pascal Siakam, Pacers 
($9,300) vs. Hornets
Despite a brutal start for his squad that is decimated by injuries, Siakam continues to lead the charge with an average of 26.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists over the last four games, including going over 40 DK points three times in that span. He is likely to keep up the production against the Hornets, who are giving up the league's third-highest field-goal percentage to opposing power forwards, and the league's eighth-most points in the paint.

Miles Bridges, Hornets ($8,400) at Pacers
Bridges is averaging 24.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals over the last five games, including three with more than 40 DK points and a high of 58.0. He should deliver another strong performance with a matchup against the Pacers, who are giving up the league's fourth-most points and fifth-most rebounds per game to opposing power forwards.
Julius Randle, Timberwolves 
($8,200) vs. Wizards
After hitting a minimum of 49 DK points in three straight games, Randle came up quiet with just 27.5 in the last outing. Nonetheless, he has a great opportunity to pick it up again versus the Wizards, who are giving up the league's most points and fourth-most points in the paint per game. They are also shorthanded in the frontcourt, without Alex Sarr.
Expected Chalk
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves ($9,100) vs. Wizards
Edwards is averaging 26.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.7 steals over seven games since returning from a four-game absence, including reaching the 50 DK-point mark three times through that stretch. He faces a very favorable matchup against the Wizards, who are giving up the league's second-most points per game to opposing shooting guards, and the league's fifth-most three-pointers per game.
Mid-Range Money
Kon Knueppel, Hornets ($6,500) at Pacers
Knueppel is on a major hot streak, hitting at least 40 DK points in six of the last eight games, including a high of 50.0, while averaging 21.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals over that span. He has good opportunity to keep it going against the Pacers, who are giving up the league's fourth-most points and fifth-highest field-goal percentage per game.
Bennedict Mathurin, Pacers ($6,000) vs. Hornets
Mathurin looked strong with 25 points on 7-for-16 shooting in his first game back from a three-week absence. He has a good chance to continue building with a matchup against the Hornets, who are giving up the league's fourth-highest field-goal percentage.
Value Picks
Luguentz Dort, Thunder 
($4,400) vs. Kings
Dort racked up 25.8 DK points in the last game, marking the fifth time in nine appearances that he logged at least 20. He should stand out against the Kings, who are giving up the league's sixth-highest field-goal percentage to opposing small forwards.
Ryan Kalkbrenner, Hornets ($4,500) at Pacers
Kalkbrenner has topped 22 DK points in his last three appearances, including a high of 36.3, while averaging 12.3 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks over that span. He is likely to prosper against the Pacers, who are giving up the league's fourth-most points and fifth-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Moussa Diabate, Hornets ($4,400) at Pacers
Diabate is doing a great job chipping in off the bench, averaging 10.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 blocks over the last five games (one start), including a high of 37.3 DK points. He has a terrific opportunity to pad his stats against the Pacers, who are giving up the league's fourth-most rebounds per game.
