Elite Players
Guards
Stephen Curry, Warriors 
($9,700) vs. Kings
Curry topped 40 DK points in seven of the last 10 games, including a high of 73.5, while averaging 29.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals over that span. He has a good chance to keep up the production against the Kings, who are giving up the league's highest three-point shooting percentage.
Austin Reaves, Lakers 
($7,500) at Bucks
Reaves topped 40 DK points in five of his last 10 appearances, while averaging 16.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists over that span, including two double-doubles with points and assists. He is on the hook to deliver another strong performance, as he must step up for his shorthanded squad. He also has a favorable matchup against the Bucks, who give up the league's ninth-most points per game to opposing shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
Jimmy Butler, Warriors ($7,900) vs. Kings
Butler continues to settle in with his new team, averaging 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals over the last five outings, including a 52.5 DK-point performance in the most recent game. He faces a good opportunity to flourish against the Kings, who give up the league's eighth-most points and fourth-most three-pointers per game to opposing small forwards.
DeMar DeRozan, Kings 
($8,300) at Warriors
DeRozan is coming off a muted performance, but he topped 50 DK points in three of the last 10 games, while averaging 23.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists over that span. He faces a tough matchup lined up against Jimmy Butler, but the two have gone head-to-head, each delivering big-time performances numerous times in the past. DeRozan also topped 50 DK points in his previous encounter with the Warriors.
Paolo Banchero, Magic 
($9,000) at Pelicans
Despite recent struggles for the Magic, Banchero continues to stuff the stat sheet, averaging 28.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.0 steals over the last 10 games, including six with more than 40 DK points and a high of 73.5. He is likely to shine with a matchup against the Pelicans, who give up the league's sixth-most points per game to opposing power forwards.
Expected Chalk
Cade Cunningham, Pistons 
($10,300) vs. Wizards
Cunningham topped 50 DK points in four of the last 10 games, including a high of 76.3, while averaging 26.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.4 steals over that span. He is up for the second of back-to-back meetings with the Wizards, after he turned in 54.5 DK points in their last encounter. He is likely to prosper once again, as the Wizards give up the league's most points per game.
Mid-Range Money
D'Angelo Russell, Nets 
($5,100) at Bulls
Russell is expected to be back in action after missing the last game. He averaged 13.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks, with a high of 51.5 DK points over his previous four outings since returning from a week-long absence, and he has a great chance to thrive against the Bulls, who are shorthanded in the backcourt.
Tobias Harris, Pistons ($5,900) vs. Wizards
Harris is averaging 15.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals, with a high of 38.8 DK points over three games since returning from a two-game absence. He faces an ideal opportunity to keep rolling with a matchup against the Wizards, who give up the league's third-most points and second-most rebounds per game to opposing power forwards.
Jalen Duren, Pistons ($6,900) vs. Wizards
Duren has seven double-doubles in the last 10 games, while averaging 13.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 blocks over that span. He is likely to keep up the production against the Wizards, who give up the league's fourth-most points in the paint, and the league's most rebounds per game.
Value Picks
Tyrese Martin, Nets ($3,600) at Bulls
Martin topped 20 DK points four times, while averaging 10.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals over the last 10 games. He has a good chance to come up big with a matchup against the Bulls, who give up the league's second-most points per game.
Kevin Huerter, Bulls 
($4,300) vs. Nets
Huerter has topped 20 DK points in seven straight appearances, while averaging 14.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.7 steals over that span. He is up for a prime opportunity to fill it up once again, as he is in line for increased responsibility in the absence of Josh Giddey, and likely Lonzo Ball.
