Elite Players
Guards
Stephen Curry, Warriors 
($9,700) at Jazz
Curry topped 50 DK points in each of the last two games and has averaged 33.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists over the last 10 games. He has a good opportunity to shine against the Jazz, who give up the league's second-most three-pointers per game.
Brandon Ingram, Pelicans 
($8,100) at Grizzlies
With Zion Williamson questionable for action, Ingram may have to step up to carry a hefty load on the offensive end. He is already the team's second-highest scorer and has averaged 22.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.2 blocks over the last 10 games, including a high of 68 DK points. He also has an advantageous matchup against a shorthanded Grizzlies squad.
Forwards/Centers
Scottie Barnes, Raptors 
($8,500) vs. Spurs
Barnes turned in 60 DK points in the last game and has averaged 20.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.5 blocks over the last 10 outings. He has a great chance to excel against the struggling Spurs, who give up the league's fifth-most points and second-most rebounds per game.
Pascal Siakam, Pacers 
($7,900) at Hornets
Siakam has averaged 22.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.0 steals over the last 10 games, including two with more than 50 DK points and a high of 61.3. He finished with 53 DK points in his previous encounter with the Hornets, and he should shine again, as they give up the league's eighth-most points per game to opposing power forwards.
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs 
($8,900) at Raptors
Wembanyama continues to impress, averaging 20.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.6 blocks over the last 10 games, including five with at least 50 DK points. He should do well against the Raptors, who give up the league's ninth-most points per game to opposing centers and the league's sixth-most points in the paint.
Expected Chalk
Nikola Vucevic, Bulls 
($7,900) at Hawks
Vucevic came up with 63.3 DK points in the last outing and has averaged 19.4 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 blocks over the last 10 games. He has a great chance to stand out against the Hawks, who give up the league's ninth-most points and seventh-most rebounds to opposing centers. The Hawks are also shorthanded at the center position.
Mid-Range Money
Immanuel Quickley, Raptors ($6,900) vs. Spurs
Quickley has averaged 15.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists over his last 10 appearances, including two with more than 40 DK points. He has a great chance to thrive against the Spurs, who give up the league's most points per game to opposing point guards.
Daniel Gafford, Mavericks 
($5,600) vs. Wizards
Gafford delivered 32.3 DK points in his debut with the Mavericks and should continue to see significant opportunity, as he fills the need for an interior presence among their roster. Gafford is set for a prime opportunity to succeed against the Wizards, who give up the league's third-most points and most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Value Picks
Gary Trent, Raptors ($4,200) vs. Spurs
Trent has 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.6 steals across the last 10 games, including seven with more than 20 DK points and a high of 35.8. He has an excellent opportunity to prosper against the Spurs' lackluster defense, which concedes the league's fifth-highest three-point percentage to opponents.
Trey Murphy, Pelicans ($4,900) at Grizzlies
Murphy amassed 38.8 DK points in the last game and has averaged 11.4 points and 3.7 rebounds across his last 10 outings. He could be up for added playing time if the Pelicans are shorthanded, and he has a good chance to fill it up against the hobbled Grizzlies.
Derrick Jones, Mavericks ($4,100) vs. Wizards
Jones has averaged 8.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists across the last five games, including a high of 29.3 DK points. He is likely to keep up the strong play against the Wizards, who continue to struggle on the defensive end.
