Elite Players
Guards
Russell Westbrook, Lakers 
($7,700) at Nuggets
Westbrook topped 50 DK points in back-to-back games and is averaging 15.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 8.6 assists over his last 10 outings. He also recorded 53.3 DK points in the previous encounter with the Nuggets and should be up for another big night, considering they give up the league's third-most points per game to point guards.
Franz Wagner, Magic 
($7,100) at Kings
Wagner registered a high of 48.5 DK points, while averaging 20.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals through his last 10 games. He should do well against the Kings, who give up the league's sixth most points per game and allow opponents to shoot an average of 49.1 percent from the field.
Forwards/Centers
LeBron James, Lakers ($10,900) at Nuggets
James continues to shine, averaging 34.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 7.6 assists over his last 10 outings, including seven with more than 50 DK points and a high of 76. He also recorded 50.8 DK points in the previous meeting with the Nuggets and has a good chance to keep the momentum going, as they allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.2 percent from the field.
Jaren Jackson, Grizzlies 
($6,800) vs. Spurs
Jackson surpassed 43 DK points in three of the last five games, with a high of 54.5. He should thrive against the Spurs, who give up a league-high 120.6 points per game, including the sixth most points per game to power forwards.
Kristaps Porzingis, Wizards 
($9,400) vs. Pelicans
Porzingis is coming off a quieter outing but is averaging 22.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 blocks over five games, with a high of 59.8 DK points. He has a favorable matchup against the Pelicans, who remain without Zion Williamson in the frontcourt.
Expected Chalk
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks 
($12,000) at Knicks
Antetokounmpo is looking to bounce back from his first single-digit scoring effort of the season. Nonetheless, he is averaging 34.1 points, 12.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists across his last 10 games, including five with more than 70 DK points and a high of 84. He also generated 66.8 DK points in his previous appearance in NYC and should do well again, as the Knicks give up the league's ninth-most offensive rebounds per game.
Value Picks
Jaxson Hayes, Pelicans 
($3,400) at Wizards
Hayes is averaging 8.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 10 games, including two where he topped 30 DK points. He will continue to see added opportunity while the Pelicans remain shorthanded.
Grant Williams, Celtics 
($3,500) vs. Bulls
Williams exceeded 14 DK points in seven of 10 games, including three with at least 24. He has a good chance to stand out against the Bulls, who give up the league's second most points per game to power forwards.
Doug McDermott, Spurs 
($3,200) at Grizzlies
McDermott is averaging 10.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists, while shooting 46.8 percent from the field over his last 10 games. He should prosper against the Grizzlies, who give up the league's seventh most three-pointers per game.
Corey Kispert, Wizards ($3,900) vs. Pelicans
Kispert is up for a second consecutive start in place of Bradley Beal, after averaging 9.0 points and 3.2 rebounds through 10 games. He is likely to get his shot going from downtown against the Pelicans, who give up 12.5 threes per game.
Patrick Beverley, Lakers ($4,100) at Nuggets
Beverley is averaging 8.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists in the last 10 games, including six where he went over 20 DK points. He has an opportunity to excel against the Nuggets, who allow point guards to shoot an average of 38.1 percent from long range.
