Elite Players
Guards
Tyrese Maxey, 76ers 
($9,800) vs. Raptors
Maxey continues to shine, averaging 33.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.7 steals over the last 10 games, including seven with more than 50 DK points and a high of 63.0. He is likely to keeping rolling against the Raptors, who are giving up the league's sixth-most points per game to opposing point guards.
Devin Booker, Suns 
($9,500) vs. Grizzlies
Booker racked up 74.0 DK points in the game before last and is averaging 29.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists across 10 outings. He has a good opportunity to keep up the production with a matchup against the Grizzlies, who are giving up the league's ninth-most points and seventh-most three-pointers per game.
Forwards/Centers
Scottie Barnes, Raptors 
($9,200) at 76ers
Barnes does a great job stuffing the stat sheet, averaging 19.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks through 10 appearances, including five games with at least 40 DK points. He must continue to step up for his shorthanded squad, and he should do well against the 76ers, who give up the league's fourth-most rebounds and highest field-goal percentage to opposing power forwards.
Kevin Durant, Suns ($9,000) vs. Grizzlies
Durant is set to return from a three-game absence, after averaging 26.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks over his last 10 appearances. He has a good chance to get back on track against the Grizzlies, who give up the league's most three-pointers per game to opposing power forwards. He also finished with 57.5 DK points in his previous encounter with the Grizzlies.
Jaren Jackson, Grizzlies 
($8,100) at Suns
Jackson is averaging 26.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 blocks through the last 10 games, including six with at least 40 DK points and a high of 51.5. He faces a great opportunity to prosper against the Suns, who give up the league's eighth-most points in the paint, and the league's sixth-most free throws per game to opposing power forwards.
Expected Chalk
Karl-Anthony Towns, Knicks 
($9,400) at Pacers
Towns is coming off a modest outing but is averaging 18.1 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks over nine games since returning from a two-game absence. He is up for an ideal chance to stand out against the Pacers, who give up the league's fifth-most points in the paint, and the league's third-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Mid-Range Money
Coby White, Bulls 
($6,700) vs. Pistons
White is averaging 22.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists through six outings since returning from a four-game absence. He should continue to put up big numbers as the first offensive option for his squad, and he has a favorable matchup against the Pistons, who give up the league's seventh-highest three-point shooting percentage to opposing shooting guards.
Ausar Thompson, Pistons 
($5,100) at Bulls
Thompson has scored in double digits in five straight games and continues to stuff the stat sheet, averaging 13.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 steals over that span. He is likely to keep up the production against the Bulls, who give up the league's second-most points per game.
Value Picks
Tyus Jones, Suns ($4,800) vs. Grizzlies
Jones is coming off his fifth double-double of the season and is averaging 13.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 6.3 assists over the last three games. He is up for a tough matchup against the Grizzlies' backcourt, but he should find a chance to pad his stats at the foul line, as they give up the league's ninth-most free throws per game to opposing point guards.
Ochai Agbaji, Raptors ($4,000) at 76ers
Agbaji is averaging 10.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals over the last five games and is up for a third straight start for his shorthanded squad. He is also likely to flourish against the 76ers, who give up the league's fourth-highest field-goal percentage to opposing small forwards.
Zach Edey, Grizzlies ($4,800) at Suns
Edey is coming off a quieter outing but is averaging 10.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.6 blocks over the last 10 games, including five with more than 35 DK points. He is likely to do well against the Suns, who give up the league's third-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
