Elite Players
Guards
De'Aaron Fox, Kings 
($8,300) vs. Hornets
Fox is coming off two strong games, including a 27-point, 11-assist double-double with a total of 53.5 DK points. He should continue to excel, facing a Hornets team that gives up the league's third-most points and the sixth-most free-throw attempts per game.
Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers 
($8,900) vs. Jazz
Mitchell is averaging 32.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists across four games since returning from a two-game absence. He topped 45 DK points twice in that span, including one outing with 41 points on 14-of-24 shooting. He is likely to have an extra spark playing host to his former team, who also give up the league's sixth-most points to shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
Paolo Banchero, Magic 
($7,700) at Hawks
Banchero continues to impress, averaging 20.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.1 steals over the last 10 games. He totaled 42.5 DK points in the last meeting with the Hawks and should be up for more success, as they remain short-handed in the frontcourt and give up the league's fourth-most rebounds per game.
Christian Wood, Mavericks 
($7,900) at Timberwolves
Wood produced more than 50 DK points in back-to-back games and has another chance to stand out, as the Mavs deal with a handful of injuries. He has an advantageous matchup against the Timberwolves, who are short-handed in the frontcourt and give up the league's fourth-most offensive rebounds per game.
Domantas Sabonis, Kings ($9,600) vs. Hornets
Sabonis has turned in seven consecutive double-doubles and should continue to stuff the stat sheet against an opponent that gives up the league's second-most rebounds per game. The Hornets also give up the league's fifth-most points per game to centers.
Expected Chalk
Joel Embiid, 76ers 
($11,500) vs. Raptors
Embiid is averaging 39.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks through five games, with more than 60 DK points in three and a high of 76. He has an advantage as the Raptors are short-handed in the frontcourt, and he recorded 31 points, five rebounds and three assists the last time they met.
Value Picks
Thomas Bryant, Lakers 
($4,200) at Suns
Bryant passed 30 DK points in the previous two games and is up for another start in place of Anthony Davis. He has a favorable matchup versus the Suns, who give up the ninth-most points and the 10th-most rebounds per game to centers.
Jalen Williams, Thunder 
($4,700) vs. Trail Blazers
Williams is up for a fourth consecutive start as the Thunder are heavily short-handed. He is averaging 12.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists over the last 10 games and should do well against the Blazers, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 47.4 percent from the field.
Keegan Murray, Kings ($4,500) vs. Hornets
Murray hit 20 DK points in four of the last five games, including two with 27. He is averaging 14.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in the last 10 games and has chance to stand out against the Hornets' sub-par defense.
Doug McDermott, Spurs 
($3,900) at Rockets
McDermott is averaging 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in the last five games, including a matchup with the Rockets in which he finished with 21.8 DK points. The Rockets give up the league's second-most three-pointers per game, which gives McDermott, who averages 4.8 attempts, a good chance to shine again.
Isaiah Joe, Thunder ($4,000) vs. Trail Blazers
Joe is up for a second consecutive start after he generated 23 points, three rebounds and a steal for a total of 30.3 DK points in the last outing. He should see considerable playing time as the Thunder are missing their starting backcourt.
