Elite Players
Guards
Tyrese Haliburton, Pacers 
($9,000) vs. Jazz
Haliburton continues to thrive as one of the league's most efficient scorers and distributors, averaging 20.6 points on 53.5 percent shooting, 1.8 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.4 steals, with just 1.4 turnovers per game over the last five games. He should keep the momentum going against the Jazz, who give up the league's second-most points per game to opposing point guards and do not force a lot of turnovers from the position.
Coby White, Bulls 
($8,700) vs. Trail Blazers
Aside from a dud in the game before last, White is rolling, averaging 26.7 points on 50.6 percent shooting, 4.0 rebound and 4.2 assists over the last 10 games, including going over 40 DK points in six of the last seven. He is likely to thrive against the Trail Blazers, who give up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
DeMar DeRozan, Kings 
($8,400) at Hornets
DeRozan racked up 51.8 DK points in his most recent outing and is averaging 22.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists across five games. He has a good chance to keep up the production against the Hornets, who are shorthanded at the wing and give up the league's fourth-most free throws per game to opposing small forwards.
Miles Bridges, Hornets 
($9,100) vs. Kings
Bridges topped 30 DK points in each of the last three games, including a high of 55.5, while averaging 21.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists over that span. He faces a favorable matchup against the Kings, who give up the league's third-most points and third-highest field-goal percentage to opposing power forwards.
Jalen Duren, Pistons 
($7,500) at Raptors
Duren continues to shine in his role, averaging 14.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.8 blocks over the last 10 games, including a high of 40.0 DK points. He is up for a great opportunity to stand out against the Raptors, who give up the league's seventh-most points and fifth-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Expected Chalk
Jayson Tatum, Celtics 
($11,000) vs. Suns
Tatum topped 50 DK points in four of his last 10 appearances, with a high of 76.0, while averaging 27.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 0.8 steals across that stretch. He should thrive against the Suns in the absence of Kevin Durant, and he may also have to step up his effort if Jaylen Brown remains limited by injury trouble.
Mid-Range Money
Chet Holmgren, Thunder 
($7,300) at Rockets
Holmgren amassed 58.3 DK points in the last game and is averaging 14.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 blocks through his last 10 appearances. He faces a tough matchup against the Rockets' frontcourt, but he should pad his stats nonetheless, as they give up the league's most blocks per game to opposing centers.
Myles Turner, Pacers ($6,300) vs. Jazz
Turner is averaging 15.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.9 blocks over his last 10 appearances, including a high of 50.0 DK points. He is up for a great chance to stand out against the Jazz, who are significantly shorthanded in the frontcourt and give up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing centers.
Value Picks
T.J. McConnell, Pacers ($3,800) vs. Jazz
McConnell continues to provide critical support off the bench, averaging 7.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists over the last 10 games, including five with more than 20 DK points and a high of 36.0. He should deliver solid production against the Jazz, who give up the league's second-most points per game.
Max Strus, Cavaliers 
($4,300) at Spurs
Strus topped 20 DK points in five of his last 10 outings, with a high of 33.0, while averaging 10.5 points and 3.9 rebounds over that span. He has a good chance to do well against the Spurs, who give up the league's fourth-highest field-goal percentage to opposing small forwards.
Isaac Okoro, Cavaliers ($3,100) at Spurs
Okoro is averaging 8.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists over the last five games, including a high fo 25.5 DK points in the most recent outing. He is likely to see some extra minutes in the absence of Ty Jerome, and he faces a favorable matchup against a shorthanded Spurs squad that also gives up the league's eighth-most points per game.
