Elite Players
Guards
Kyrie Irving, Nets 
($8,700) vs. Spurs
Irving is averaging 28.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists over his last 10 outings, with more than 45 DK points in six and a high of 60.8. He has a favorable matchup against the Spurs, who allow opponents to shoot a league-high average of 50.3 percent from the field, including 39.2 percent from beyond the arc.
Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers 
($9,000) vs. Bulls
With Darius Garland listed as doubtful, Mitchell has to step up and lead the way. He is averaging 25.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals in the last 10 games, with a high of 54.5 DK points. He should shine against the Bulls, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 47.7 percent from the field and give up the league's third most three-pointers per game.
Forwards/Centers
Jerami Grant, Trail Blazers 
($7,300) vs. Pistons
Grant surpassed 29 DK points in each of the last five games, including a high of 61. He has a favorable matchup against the Pistons, who give up the league's second most points and fifth most free throws per game.
Kevin Durant, Nets ($10,400) vs. Spurs
Durant topped 50 DK points in six of his last 10 outings, with a high of 62. He has a great chance to stuff the stat sheet against the Spurs, who give up the league's third most points in the paint and a league-high 120.5 points per game.
Christian Wood, Mavericks 
($8,000) at Rockets
Wood generated at least 40 DK points in the last four games, including a high of 62.5, and is averaging 19.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.5 blocks through eight consecutive starts. He should continue to excel against the Rockets, who give up the league's 10th most points per game and allow opponents to shoot an average of 47.4 percent from the field.
Expected Chalk
Luka Doncic, Mavericks ($12,400) at Rockets
Doncic is amidst one of the best stretches of basketball in NBA history, averaging 45.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 2.4 steals across the last five games. He topped 80 DK points in four of the five outings, including two against the Rockets, and he should prosper again, as they give up a league-high 14.3 three-pointers per game.
Value Picks
Kevon Looney, Warriors 
($4,600) vs. Hawks
Looney topped 20 DK points in three straight games and delivered a high of 50.8 DK points, while averaging 6.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists over the last 10. He has a good chance to flourish against the Hawks, who give up the league's third most rebounds per game.
T.J. Warren, Nets ($4,300) vs. Spurs
Warren provides an offensive boost off the bench, averaging 11.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists through five games, with a high of 40.5 DK points. He should continue to thrive with a matchup against the Spurs' sub-par defense.
AJ Griffin, Hawks 
($4,200) at Warriors
Griffin picked up back-to-back starts and retains a greater role if De'Andre Hunter is out. Nonetheless, he has delivered a consistent effort over the last 10 games, averaging 12.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists, with a high of 33.8 DK points.
Jaylen Nowell, Timberwolves 
($4,200) vs. Nuggets
Nowell is averaging 11.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists through 10 games, with more than 20 DK points in six and a high of 31.5. He should continue to play a substantial role as the Timberwolves deal with injury trouble, and he has a favorable matchup against the Nuggets, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.5 percent from the field.
Andrew Nembhard, Pacers 
($4,300) vs. Raptors
Nembhard recorded a high of 31.3 DK points, while averaging 7.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists across the last 10 games. He should do well against the Raptors, who are allowing opponents to shot an average of 49 percent from the field, including 36.4 percent from deep.
