Elite Players
Guards
De'Aaron Fox, Kings 
($8,800) at Bucks
Despite a couple of quieter performances, Fox is averaging 23.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals through the last 10 games, including two with more than 60 DK points. He is up for an advantageous matchup against the Bucks, who face the second game of a back-to-back and give up the league's third-most points per game to opposing point guards.
Paul George, Clippers 
($8,300) at Timberwolves
George is coming off a season-high scoring display, as he delivered 37 points on 12-for-18 shooting and finished with a total of 47.8 DK points. He will have his hands full with the Timberwolves' defense, but he has a good chance to add to his own DK totals on the defensive end, as the Timberwolves give up the league's fourth-most turnovers per game. George is averaging 1.6 steals per game on the season and has a total of 10 steals over the last four outings.
Forwards/Centers
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers ($8,500) at Timberwolves
Leonard is averaging 20.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.6 blocks over the last five games, including a high of 50.3 DK points. He faces a tough matchup against Minnesota's defense, but he should find a chance to pad his stats at the free-throw line, while the Timberwolves commit the league's fourth-most fouls per game.
Karl-Anthony Towns, Timberwolves 
($8,000) vs. Clippers
Towns went over 50 DK points in two of the last three games and is averaging 24.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals over the last five outings. He may also have to step up as the first offensive option if Anthony Edwards is sidelined. There is not much of a sample size to look at how Towns may handle the matchup, as this marks the first meeting between the Clippers and Timberwolves this season, and he missed all of their matchups last season. Nonetheless, he should at least benefit from a size advantage at his position.
Bam Adebayo, Heat 
($9,100) vs. Hornets
Adebayo continues to thrive, averaging 22.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.0 blocks across the last 10 games, including three with more than 50 DK points and a high of 64. He is likely to keep rolling against the Hornets, who give up the league's most points and second-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Expected Chalk
Kevin Durant, Suns 
($9,400) at Trail Blazers
Durant is averaging 23.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks through three games since returning from a three-game absence. He finished with 54.5 DK points in his last encounter with the Trail Blazers, and he should prosper again, as they continue to deal with injury trouble in the frontcourt and concede the league's third-most points in the paint.
Mid-Range Money
Russell Westbrook, Clippers ($5,300) at Timberwolves
Westbrook is averaging 9.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 19 minutes off the bench across the last 10 games. He also surpassed 20 DK points six times over that span, including a high of 44.3.
Jaime Jaquez, Heat ($6,400) vs. Hornets
Jaquez is likely to continue benefitting from extra playing time while Jimmy Butler is expected to remain sidelined. Jaquez is averaging 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 steals across six consecutive starts, including four games with at least 30 DK points. He faces a good chance to stand out against the Hornets, who give up the league's seventh-most points per game to opposing small forwards.
Jabari Walker, Trail Blazers 
($5,200) vs. Suns
Walker shined with 39.8 DK points on 17 points, 13 rebounds, three assists and a steal in the last game, which marked his return from a four-game absence. He is averaging 10.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists over his last 10 appearances, and he could continue to pick up added playing time if Deandre Ayton remains out.
Value Picks
Terance Mann, Clippers ($3,700) at Timberwolves
Mann continues to provide a consistent supporting role amidst the Clippers' star-studded lineup, as he is averaging 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists over the last five games, including a high of 25.8 DK points. He could also be up for a significantly more favorable matchup if Anthony Edwards is sidelined.
Josh Okogie, Suns ($3,500) at Trail Blazers
Okogie was quiet in the last game but is averaging 5.4 points, 1.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 steals over the last five outings, with a high of 25.5 DK points in that span. He should find an opportunity to make his mark against the shorthanded and struggling Trail Blazers, who give up the league's fifth-most rebounds and sixth-highest shooting percentage per game.
