Elite Players
Guards
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder 
($9,700) at Kings
Gilgeous-Alexander surpassed 40 DK points in nine of 10 games with a high of 62 while averaging 27.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per outing. He should keep rolling against the Kings, who give up the league's seventh-most points per game and allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.9 percent from the field.
Josh Giddey, Thunder ($7,700) at Kings
Giddey topped 50 DK points in three of the last five while peaking at 55.3. He also averages 21.4 points, 8.8 rebounds and 8.8 assists and offers a good chance to keep up the strong play against the Kings as they give up the league's ninth-most points to shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
Lauri Markkanen, Jazz 
($9,500) vs. Nets
Markkanen exceeded 50 DK points in six of his last 10 appearances while averaging 30.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists. He has an advantageous matchup against the Nets, who allow the league's eighth-most free throws and are also shorthanded in the frontcourt.
Jimmy Butler, Heat 
($8,300) at Mavericks
Butler is averaging 24.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals across five games, with a high of 62.8 DK points. He should find an opportunity to stand out against the Mavs, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.1 percent from the field and give up the ninth-most free throws.
Bam Adebayo, Heat ($8,400) at Mavericks
Adebayo went over 50 DK points four times - including a high of 61.3 - through 10 games while averaging 23.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.5 blocks. He faces a favorable matchup against the Mavs, who give up the second-highest field-goal percentage to opposing centers and are also depleted in the frontcourt.
Expected Chalk
Ja Morant, Grizzlies 
($9,600) at Lakers
Morant registered more than 45 DK points in seven of the last 10 outings while averaging 28.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game as the Grizzlies have remained undefeated. He should do well against the Lakers since they give up the sixth-most points in the paint and a league-high average of 27.0 points to point guards.
Value Picks
Bones Hyland, Nuggets 
($4,300) vs. Pacers
Hyland is averaging 12.2 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists through 10 games, with a high of 34 DK points. He faces an advantageous matchup against the Pacers, who are shorthanded in the backcourt and give up the 10th-most three-pointers per game.
Trey Murphy, Pelicans 
($4,800) at Magic
Murphy surpassed 17 DK points in seven of the last 10 with a high of 32 twice. He has a good chance to prosper against the Magic as they allow the eighth-most three-pointers.
Dillon Brooks, Grizzlies ($4,800) at Lakers
Brooks is averaging 13.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 10 appearances, with a peak of 39.8 DK points. He should have plenty of opportunity to flourish offensively against the Lakers since they give up the league's fourth-most points per game.
Jarred Vanderbilt, Jazz ($4,800) vs. Nets
Vanderbilt reached a high of 40 DK points while averaging 9.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 10 games. He should be up for added playing time in the absence of Kelly Olynyk, and should do well against the Nets and their D that allows the fourth-most offensive rebounds.
Kevin Love, Cavaliers 
($3,800) vs. Warriors
Love is averaging 4.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists over five games, but should be up for more against the Warriors as they give up the league's fifth-most points and seventh-most rebounds per game.
