Elite Players
Guards
Tyrese Maxey, 76ers 
($7,300) vs. Wizards
Maxey is averaging 24.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals in six games since working his way back into the starting lineup. He also topped 35 DK points three times over that span, including a high of 46.5. He should continue to stand out against the Wizards, who give up the league's ninth-most points per game to shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
Jalen Williams, Thunder 
($7,100) at Spurs
After missing two games, Williams returned with a total of 29.5 DK points in the previous outing. He also topped 43 DK points in the four games prior to his absence and is averaging 20.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.1 steals over the last 10. He should continue to flourish against the Spurs, who give up the league's most points per game. Williams also totaled 36.8 DK points in his last meeting with the Spurs.
Julius Randle, Knicks 
($9,800) at Lakers
Randle went over 45 DK points in three of the last five outings, including a high of 63.3, while averaging 26.4 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. He faces a tough matchup against the Lakers' frontcourt but should find room to prosper, as they give up the league's fourth-most rebounds and 10th-most threes per game.
Zach Collins, Spurs 
($6,200) vs. Thunder
Collins logged a high of 39 DK points and is averaging 12.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks through six games since the All-Star break. He faces a good chance to thrive against the Thunder, who give up the league's most rebounds and third-most free throws per game.
Expected Chalk
Joel Embiid, 76ers ($11,500) vs. Wizards
Embiid continues to dominate, averaging 37.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks over his last five outings, including back-to-back games with more than 60 DK points. He faces a tough matchup against the Wizards' frontcourt but should find enough room to stuff the stat sheet, as they give up the league's eighth-most points per game to centers. He also recorded a total of 74.5 DK points in his last encounter with the Wizards.
Value Picks
Monte Morris, Wizards 
($4,600) at 76ers
Morris totaled 28.8 DK points in his last outing and is averaging 10.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists on the season. He faces a tough matchup against the 76ers' backcourt, but he finished with 23 DK points in their previous meeting.
Isaiah Joe, Thunder ($4,800) at Spurs
Joe continues to make a good impression, averaging 12.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 10 games since the All-Star break. He averages 5.2 three-point attempts per game and should be able to get his shot going against the Spurs, who allow opponents to shoot a league-high 39.5 percent from long range.
Troy Brown, Lakers 
($4,300) vs. Knicks
Brown is up for another start after averaging 11.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 steals through the last five games. He averages 3.6 threes per game and has a good chance to catch a rhythm against the Knicks, who give up the league's seventh-most three-pointers per game.
Rui Hachimura, Lakers ($3,700) vs. Knicks
Despite a couple of quieter outings, Hachimura is averaging 10.0 points and 4.6 rebounds across five games, including three with more than 20 DK points. He will continue to see a substantial role while the Lakers remain shorthanded.
Jaxson Hayes, Pelicans 
($3,600) vs. Trail Blazers
Hayes is averaging 10.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocks over five games, including a high of 32.5 DK points. He should continue to get a boost while the Pelicans are shorthanded in the frontcourt and also faces an advantageous matchup against the Trail Blazers, who allow a league-high in points per game to centers.
