Elite Players
Guards
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder 
($9,600) vs. Pacers
Gilgeous-Alexander has played in four of six games since returning from a nearly two-week absence, but he is averaging 35.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.5 steals over that span. He should continue to shine against the Raptors, who give up the league's highest field-goal percentage to opposing point guards.
Mikal Bridges, Nets 
($8,300) vs. Kings
Bridges is coming off an impressive outing with 50 DK points, and he is averaging 28.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals over 10 games. He should prosper against the Kings, who give up the league's second-most points per game to shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
Paolo Banchero, Magic 
($7,600) at Suns
Banchero continues to impress, averaging 21.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists over the last 10 games, including a high of 49.5 DK points. He faces a favorable matchup against the Suns in the absence of Kevin Durant, and he should pad his stats at the foul line as the Suns give up the league's fourth-most free-throw attempts per game.
Pascal Siakam, Raptors 
($8,400) vs. Thunder
Siakam is coming off a couple of quieter outings but is averaging 19.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals over the last 10 games. He has a good chance to stand out against the Thunder, who give up the league's most rebounds, fourth-most points and fifth-most three-pointers per game to power forwards.
Jakob Poeltl, Raptors ($7,200) vs. Thunder
Poeltl continues to flourish with the Raptors, coming off back-to-back outings with more than 40 DK points and an average of 13.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks through five games. He faces an advantageous matchup against the Thunder, who give up the league's most rebounds per game.
Expected Chalk
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks 
($12,000) vs. Pacers
Antetokounmpo surpassed 60 DK points in back-to-back outings after returning from a three-game absence, and he is averaging 34.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.2 blocks over his last five appearances. He should continue to shine against the Pacers, who give up the league's most offensive rebounds and fifth-most points per game.
Value Picks
Moritz Wagner, Magic ($4,400) at Suns
After three straight starts, Wagner has been back on the bench for two games, but he logged 24 DK points in the previous outing and is averaging 12.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals across the last five.
Keegan Murray, Kings 
($4,100) at Nets
Murray topped 20 DK points in seven of the last 10 outings, including a high of 38.5, while averaging 10.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He averages 6.0 three-point attempts per game and should thrive against the Nets, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 37.1 percent from deep.
Bruce Brown, Nuggets 
($4,600) at Pistons
Brown is averaging 9.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals over five games, including a high of 28.3 DK points. He faces a favorable matchup against the Pistons, who give up the league's second-most points and sixth-most turnovers per game.
Gary Trent, Raptors ($4,300) vs. Thunder
Trent is back in a bench role but is averaging 11.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals over five games, including a high of 44.3 DK points. He has a good opportunity to get his shot going from long range against the Thunder, who give up the league's sixth-most three-pointers per game.
Jalen Suggs, Magic ($4,900) at Suns
Suggs tallied a high of 42.8 DK points, while averaging 12.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.4 steals across the last five games. He has a good chance to pad his stats at the foul line, as the Suns give up the league's fourth-most free throws per game.
