Elite Players
Guards
Luka Doncic, Mavericks 
($12,800) at Lakers
Doncic finished with 72.9 DK points in his previous outing and has gone over 60 in eight of 10. He has another chance to prosper against the Lakers, who remain shorthanded in the backcourt and give up a league-high average of 27.2 points per game to point guards.
Gary Trent, Raptors 
($6,200) vs. Hornets
Trent surpassed 31 DK points in each of the last six games, with a high of 53.3. He is expected to maintain a starting role and should shine once again versus the Hornets, who give up the league's third-most points per game and allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.0 percent from the field.
Forwards/Centers
Jimmy Butler, Heat 
($9,700) vs. Bucks
Butler generated 62.8 DK points in the last game and is averaging 23.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.6 steals over five appearances. He has a matchup advantage at his position against the shorthanded Bucks, who also give up the league's seventh most points per game to small forwards.
LeBron James, Lakers 
($10,900) vs. Mavericks
James missed the last game but is expected to be ready for action. He recorded a high of 76 DK points, while averaging 35.8 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.6 assists across five outings and should keep the momentum going against the Mavericks, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 47.9 percent from the field.
Pascal Siakam, Raptors ($10,300) vs. Hornets
Siakam tallied 48 DK points in the previous meeting with the Hornets and is averaging 27.5 points, 7.7 points and 6.0 assists through 10 games. He has an opportunity to keep up the impressive play, as the Hornets give up the league's third-most rebounds per game and also the fifth-most points per game to centers.
Expected Chalk
Joel Embiid, 76ers 
($11,000) vs. Thunder
Embiid bounced back from a three-game absence with 36 points and 11 rebounds on Tuesday. He is averaging 34.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.3 steals through 10 appearances and has a great chance to excel against the Thunder, who give up the league's most rebounds and seventh-most points in the paint per game.
Value Picks
P.J. Tucker, 76ers ($3,100) vs. Thunder
Tucker continues to deliver a whole-hearted effort and is averaging 2.7 points and 4.6 rebounds across his last 10 outings, with a high of 18.5 DK points. He should do well against the Thunder, who give up the league's most rebounds per game to power forwards.
Grant Williams, Celtics 
($3,900) at Nets
Williams is averaging 8.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 10 games, including a high of 37 DK points. He finished with 24.3 DK points in the last meeting with the Nets and faces a favorable matchup, as they remain shorthanded in the frontcourt.
Joe Ingles, Bucks 
($3,400) at Heat
In 11 games this season, Ingles topped 30 DK points twice and is averaging 6.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists. He should find an advantage against the Heat's second unit, as they deal with a number of injuries.
Seth Curry, Nets 
($3,500) vs. Celtics
Curry should pick up added opportunity on offense in the absence of Kevin Durant. He is averaging 13.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists through five games and has a good chance to find his shot from long range, as the Celtics allow shooting guards to shoot an average of 39.8 percent from deep.
Gabe Vincent, Heat ($4,000) vs. Bucks
Vincent faces a tough matchup against Jrue Holiday and the Bucks, but he has to step in an extended role, as the Heat are shorthanded in the backcourt. He logged 23 DK points in the previous game and averages 8.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists on the season.
