Elite Players
Guards
Stephen Curry, Warriors 
($9,100) vs. Lakers
Curry delivered a high of 51.3 DK points and topped 42 points in each of his last four appearances, while averaging 27.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.0 steals over that span. He has a good opportunity to shine against the Lakers, who give up the league's most three-pointers and sixth-most points per game to opposing point guards.
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves 
($8,400) at Spurs
Edwards has somewhat toned down from a major hot streak, but he is still averaging 22.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists over the last 10 games, including two with more than 50 DK points. He already logged a high of 49.3 DK points among his two encounters with the Spurs this season, and he should have plenty of opportunity to prosper once again, as they give up the league's fifth-most points and fourth-most three-pointers per game.
Forwards/Centers
LeBron James, Lakers 
($9,100) at Warriors
James missed the game-before last and continues to carry a questionable tag, but he also totaled 52.5 DK points in the most recent outing and is averaging 25.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.2 assists over his last five appearances. He has a great chance to boost his offense at the foul line, as the Warriors give up the league's sixth-most free throws per game.
Lauri Markkanen, Jazz 
($8,300) at Hornets
Markkanen went over 50 DK points in five of the last 10 games and is averaging 25.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists over that span. He is up for an advantageous matchup against the Hornets, who face the second game of a back-to-back, and who concede the league's third-highest field-goal percentage to opposing power forwards. The Hornets also give up the league's fifth-most threes per game.
Karl-Anthony Towns, Timberwolves ($8,100) at Spurs
Towns is averaging 26.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists over the last 10 games, including three with more than 50 DK points and a high of 76.5. He heads into a favorable matchup against the Spurs, who face the second game of a back-to-back, and who also give up the league's second-most rebounds per game.
Expected Chalk
Domantas Sabonis, Kings 
($10,100) at Mavericks
Sabonis continues to roll, having delivered 26 consecutive double-doubles. His streak almost ended in the last game, as he finished with eight rebounds, but he provided 13 assists to go with his 18 points to keep the streak alive. The Kings' big man should keep up the dominance against the Mavs, who face the second game of a back-to-back and continue to manage injury trouble. The Mavs also give up the league's eighth-most points in the paint.
Mid-Range Money
Keldon Johnson, Spurs 
($5,800) vs. Timberwolves
Johnson recorded 49.5 DK points in the previous game and is averaging 14.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 25 minutes per game across the last 10 outings. He faces a tough matchup against the Timberwolves' defense, but he has a good chance to add to his numbers with a couple of steals, as the Timberwolves give up the league's third-most turnovers per game.
Draymond Green, Warriors ($5,500) vs. Lakers
Green is averaging 8.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.0 steals with a high of 33.5 DK points over three games since returning from a month-long absence. He will likely be fired up to take on familiar foe, LeBron James and the Lakers, and he has a great chance to boost his DK totals, as the Lakers give up the league's fifth-most steals per game to opposing power forwards.
Value Picks
Kris Dunn, Jazz ($3,900) at Hornets
Dunn is averaging 5.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.2 steals in 20.2 minutes per game over the last 10 games. He has been up-and-down over that span, going over 20 DK points in six games, with a high of 35.5, while also turning in a low of 9.8 DK points. He has a good opportunity to thrive against the Hornets, who face the second game of a back-to-back, and who give up the league's sixth-most points per game.
Jordan Hawkins, Pelicans 
($4,000) at Bucks
Hawkins is averaging 13.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.8 minutes per game over the last 10 outings, including a high of 51.8 DK points in a game where he picked up the start. He could pick up extra minutes that trickle down if Zion Williamson is out, and he should also pad his stats at the foul line, as the Bucks give up the league's third-most free throws per game to opposing shooting guards.
Jarred Vanderbilt, Lakers ($3,900) at Warriors
Vanderbilt surpassed 30 DK points in each of the last two games and is averaging 7.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.6 steals across the last 10 outings. He faces a good opportunity to stand out against the Warriors, who give up the league's seventh-most points per game to opposing centers.
