Elite Players
Guards
Stephen Curry, Warriors 
($9,500) at Wizards
Curry is coming off a couple of quieter performances, where he finished with under 30 DK points, but he faces a great opportunity to get back on track against the Wizards, who give up the league's seventh-most points and fifth-most free throws per game to opposing point guards. Curry also finished with 50.5 DK points in his last encounter with the Wizards.
Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers 
($9,400) vs. Mavericks
After a two-game absence, Mitchell returned to action with 30.5 DK points in the last outing. He is likely to stand out with a better performance against the Mavericks, who give up the league's sixth-most points per game to opposing shooting guards. The Mavs also give up the league's seventh-most free throws per game.
Forwards/Centers
Anthony Edwards, Spurs 
($9,000) vs. Spurs
Edwards continues to impress, averaging 31.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.6 steals over the last five games, including four with more than 49 DK points and a high of 59. He faces an excellent chance to shine against the Spurs, who give up the league's fifth-most points and sixth-most three-pointers per game. Edwards also totaled 62 DK points in his previous meeting with the Spurs.
Lauri Markkanen, Jazz 
($8,100) at Hawks
Markkanen is averaging 22.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists over the last 10 games, including five with more than 40 DK points and a high of 54.8. He is up for a great opportunity to prosper against the Hawks, who give up the league's second-most points and fourth-most three-pointers per game.
Nikola Vucevic, Bulls 
($7,800) vs. Pistons
Vucevic is averaging 20.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 blocks over the last 10 games, including eight with more than 40 DK points and a high of 63.3. He should keep up the strong play against the Pistons, who give up the league's fifth-most points in the paint. Vucevic also amassed 50.5 DK points in his previous meeting with the Pistons.
Expected Chalk
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks 
($11,500) vs. Hornets
Despite the probable tag, Antetokounmpo continues to dominate the competition, averaging 30.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.1 steals over the last 10 games, including seven with at least 55 DK points and a high of 84.5. He faces an ideal opportunity to fill it up against the Hornets, who give up the league's eighth-most points and fourth-highest field-goal percentage per game.
Mid-Range Money
Coby White, Bulls ($7,400) vs. Pistons
White is averaging 22.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 0.9 steals over the last 10 games, including three with more than 49 DK points. He faces an excellent opportunity to shine against the Pistons, who face the second game of a back-to-back, and who give up the league's fourth-most points per game.
Klay Thompson, Warriors ($5,700) at Wizards
Thompson is averaging 18.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists over the last four games coming off the bench, but he is expected to be back in the starting lineup, as the Warriors are shorthanded. He has a good opportunity to stand out against the Wizards, who give up the league's second-most points per game to opposing small forwards.
Jarrett Allen, Cavaliers ($7,300) vs. Mavericks
Allen continues to control the paint, averaging 19.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 blocks over the last five games, including a high of 47.5 DK points. He faces a great chance to excel against the Mavericks, who give up the league's third-most rebounds per game to opposing centers, and who also give up the league's ninth-most points in the paint.
Value Picks
Pat Connaughton, Bucks ($3,500) vs. Hornets
Connaughton is averaging 4.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks over the last five games and faces a great chance to keep up the solid play against the Hornets' lackluster defense. Connaughton is also up for additional playing time, while Khris Middleton remains out.
Cameron Johnson, Nets 
($4,800) at Magic
Johnson topped 20 DK points in each of the last two games and is up for a greater role while his squad is hobbled by injuries. He should find an opportunity to pad his stats against the Magic, who give up the league's fifth-most steals per game.
