Elite Players
Guards
De'Aaron Fox, Kings 
($8,600) at Lakers
Fox returned from a two-game absence and totaled 38.3 DK points in the last game. He is averaging 23.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 2.4 steals over his last 10 appearances, including a streak of five straight games with more than 50 DK points and a high of 65.8. He is up for a good opportunity to build his rhythm back with a matchup against the Lakers, who give up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing point guards.
Paul George, Clippers 
($8,000) at Rockets
George poured in 29 points in the last game, which marked his highest scoring total since Feb. 10. He is averaging a modest 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.8 assist over his last five appearances. But he faces a favorable matchup against the Rockets, who enter on the second game of a back-to-back, and who give up the league's third-most free throws per game to opposing shooting guards. George also finished with 44 DK points in his previous encounter with the Rockets.
Forwards/Centers
DeMar DeRozan, Bulls 
($7,900) at Jazz
DeRozan continues to carry the majority of the offensive load for his shorthanded squad and is averaging 25.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists over the last 10 games. He registered a high of 59.5 DK points in that span, and he totaled 43 in the Bulls' most recent game. DeRozan should continue to thrive with a matchup against the Jazz, who are significantly shorthanded, and who give up the league's fifth-most points per game.
Paolo Banchero, Magic 
($8,600) at Wizards
Since returning from a two-game absence, Banchero is averaging 26.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists over the last three games, including a high of 48.8 DK points. He is set for a prime opportunity to stand out against the struggling Wizards, who give up the league's fifth-most points and most rebounds per game to opposing power forwards. Banchero also finished with 42.3 DK points in his last meeting with the Wizards.
Nikola Vucevic, Bulls ($8,100) at Jazz
Vucevic is averaging 19.9 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists over the last 10 games, including seven with more than 40 DK points and a high of 63.3. He is up for a very favorable matchup against the Jazz, who are significantly shorthanded in the frontcourt. Even at full strength, the Jazz give up the league's fifth-most points per game to opposing centers.
Expected Chalk
Domantas Sabonis, Kings ($10,600) at Lakers
Sabonis enters on an incredible streak of 43 consecutive double-doubles, and he is averaging 16.6 points, 15.0 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.2 steals over the last five games, including a high of 63.8 DK points and two triple-doubles. Sabonis should keep up the dominant play against the Lakers, who concede the league's seventh-most offensive rebounds per game. Sabonis also totaled 67.5 DK points in his previous meeting with the Lakers this season.
Mid-Range Money
Jordan Poole, Wizards 
($6,000) vs. Magic
Since moving to the bench, Poole has been rediscovering his rhythm, averaging 23.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals across seven games, including three with more than 40 DK points and a high of 53.3. He should find himself able to shine against the Magic, who face the second game of a back-to-back, and who give up the league's ninth-most points per game to opposing point guards.
Norman Powell, Clippers ($5,200) at Rockets
Powell must continue to pick up the slack in the absence of Russell Westbrook, with the former averaging 14.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals over the last five games, including two with more than 30 DK points. Powell should continue to excel with an opportunity to pad his stats against the Rockets, who give up the league's second-most free throws per game.
Value Picks
Harrison Barnes, Kings ($4,100) at Lakers
Barnes continues to provide relatively quiet, but steady support among the Kings' high-octane lineup. He is averaging 12.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists over the last five games, including a high of 29.5 DK points. Barnes should find room to make an impact against the Lakers, who give up the league's third-most three-pointers per game.
Luka Samanic, Jazz 
($3,500) vs. Bulls
Samanic delivered 17 DK points in the last game and is up for a second consecutive start for the Jazz, who are significantly shorthanded in the frontcourt. Samanic should be able to make his mark against the Bulls, who give up the league's eighth-most points and fifth-most rebounds to opposing power forwards.
Moritz Wagner, Magic ($4,700) at Wizards
Wagner is averaging 11.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists through the last 10 games, including two with more than 30 DK points. He faces an excellent opportunity to prosper against the Wizards, who give up the league's second-most points and most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
