Elite Players
Guards
Tyrese Haliburton, Pacers 
($8,700) vs. Hornets
Haliburton is averaging 20.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 1.2 steals, including four with more than 40 DK points and a high of 52.0 across six games since returning from a three-game absence. He faces a great opportunity to prosper against the Hornets, who are shorthanded in the backcourt and give up the league's fifth-most free throws per game to opposing point guards.
Jalen Green, Rockets 
($7,700) vs. Jazz
Green is playing well lately, averaging 23.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 0.8 steals over the last 10 games, including seven with more than 40 DK points and a high of 66.3. He is likely to keep the momentum going with a matchup against the Jazz, who give up the league's third-most points and second-most three-pointers per game to opposing shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
DeMar DeRozan, Kings 
($8,100) at Wizards
Despite turbulent times for the Kings, DeRozan continues to deliver solid production, averaging 21.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.8 assists over the last 10 games, including a high of 49.8 DK points in the most recent outing. He has an excellent chance to stuff the stat sheet against the Wizards, who give up the league's most points and fifth-most free throws per game.
Jalen Williams, Thunder 
($8,200) vs. Pistons
Williams is averaging 20.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists over three outings since returning from an almost two-week absence. He faces a favorable matchup against the Pistons, who are shorthanded in the frontcourt and give up the league's sixth-most points per game to opposing power forwards.
Alperen Sengun, Rockets ($8,700) vs. Jazz
Sengun continues to fill the boxscore, averaging 18.1 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.0 blocks through the last 10 games, including three with more than 50 DK points and a high of 60.0. He is likely to prosper against the Jazz, who are shorthanded in the frontcourt and give up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing centers.
Expected Chalk
Domantas Sabonis, Kings ($9,500) at Wizards
Sabonis looks like he is back on track after a three-game absence, averaging 17.0 points, 15.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.8 steals over the last five games, including a high of 55.8 DK points. He is up for an ideal opportunity to stand out against the Wizards, who give up the league's most points and second-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Mid-Range Money
Bub Carrington, Wizards 
($5,500) vs. Kings
Carrington is in a good rhythm, averaging 11.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.0 steals over five consecutive starts, racking up a high of 42.3 DK points in that span. He should keep rolling against the Kings, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 47.3 percent from the field.
Spencer Dinwiddie, Mavericks 
($6,300) vs. Hawks
Dinwiddie continues to thrive in a starting role, averaging 15.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.7 steals across the last seven games, including four with more than 40 DK points. He has a good chance to keep up the production against the Hawks, who give up the league's highest field-goal percentage to opposing point guards.
Value Picks
Zaccharie Risacher, Hawks 
($4,700) at Mavericks
Risacher is averaging 16.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists over the last 10 games, including three with at least 30 DK points and a high of 47.5. He is likely to do well against the Mavs, who give up the league's seventh-most points and third-most rebounds per game to opposing small forwards.
Tidjane Salaun, Hornets 
($4,000) at Pacers
Salaun topped 20 DK points in each of the last three games, including a high of 32.0 and is averaging 8.6 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists over five outings since returning from a seven-game absence. He faces a great chance to keep up the strong play against the Pacers, who give up the league's fourth-most rebounds and seventh-highest field-goal percentage to opposing power forwards.
Bismack Biyombo, Spurs 
($3,300) at Nuggets
Biyombo is up for an increased role as the Spurs are shorthanded in the frontcourt. The veteran big man is averaging 4.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists over the last 10 games, including going over 20 DK points in three of his last four appearances. He faces a tough matchup against the Nuggets but will have to bring his best effort to help his squad compete.
