Elite Players
Guards
Jalen Brunson, Knicks ($9,100) at Lakers
Brunson continues to dominate the score sheet, averaging 26.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.0 steals over the last 10 games, including six with more than 40 DK points and a high of 51.8. He faces a tough matchup lined up across from Luka Doncic, but he should still be able to get his offense rolling against the Lakers, who give up an average of 3.2 three-pointers per game to opposing point guards.
Stephen Curry, Warriors ($9,300) at Nets
Curry has been rolling since the start of February and is averaging 28.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.2 steals through his last 10 outings, including four with more than 50 DK points and a high of 73.5. He is likely to keep up the production with a matchup against the Nets, who give up the league's sixth-highest three-point shooting percentage.
Forwards/Centers
Franz Wagner, Magic ($8,600) vs. Bulls
Wagner is averaging 25.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 0.9 steals over the last 10 games, including six with at least 40 DK points and a high of 58.5. He faces an excellent opportunity to keep up the strong play with a matchup against the Bulls, who give up the league's most points per game.
Paolo Banchero, Magic ($8,900) vs. Bulls
Banchero racked up 73.5 DK points in the last game and is averaging 27.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists over the last 10 outings. He has a great chance to prosper in a matchup against the Bulls, who are giving up the league's second-most points and most rebounds per game to opposing power forwards.
Pascal Siakam, Pacers ($7,500) at Hawks
Siakam is averaging 19.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 steals over the last 10 games, including a high of 54.0 DK points. He has an excellent opportunity to run up his numbers against the Hawks, who give up the league's most points and eighth-most rebounds per game to opposing power forwards.
Expected Chalk
Karl-Anthony Towns, Knicks ($9,900) at Lakers
Towns has missed two of the last four games but is averaging 25.1 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals across his last 10 appearances, including four games with more than 50 DK points and a high of 70.5. He should thrive against the Lakers, who do not have a strong frontcourt rotation, and who give up the league's ninth-most points in the paint.
Mid-Range Money
D'Angelo Russell, Nets ($5,200) vs. Warriors
After a five-game injury absence, Russell made his return in the last game and finished with 23.8 DK points. However, he is averaging 12.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 0.9 steals over his previous 10 appearances, and is likely to get his offense going against the Warriors, who give up an average of 5.0 free throws per game to opposing point guards.
Caris LeVert, Hawks ($5,300) vs. Pacers
LeVert is on a roll lately, averaging 20.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 steals over the last five games, including a high of 44.8 DK points. He should keep the momentum going with a matchup against the Pacers, who give up the league's seventh-highest field-goal percentage.
Value Picks
Zaccharie Risacher, Hawks ($4,400) vs. Pacers
Risacher is averaging 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals over the last 10 games, including three with more than 30 DK points and a high of 41.0. He has a good chance to flourish against the Pacers, who give up the league's sixth-most points per game to opposing small forwards.
Obi Toppin, Pacers ($3,800) at Hawks
Toppin is averaging 11.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists over the last 10 games, including a high of 53.0 DK points. He is likely to find room to prosper against the Hawks, who give up the league's most points per game to opposing power forwards.
Wendell Carter, Magic ($5,300) vs. Bulls
Carter is up for an eighth consecutive start, after averaging 9.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.9 steals across the last seven games. He faces a good chance to shine with a favorable matchup against the Bulls, who are shorthanded in the frontcourt.
