Elite Players
Guards
De'Aaron Fox, Spurs 
($9,300) at Trail Blazers
Fox has been a consistent producer on the offensive end since making his season debut Nov. 8, scoring 20-plus points in seven of his eight regular-season appearances. The star point guard has posted more than 23 points in five straight games, resulting in three outings with at least 51.5 DK points. During that five-game stretch, he has averaged 26.0 points, 7.2 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game. With Victor Wembanyama (calf) and Stephon Castle (hip) remaining on the shelf, Fox should have another prime opportunity to lead the Spurs' offense.
Brandon Ingram, Raptors 
($7,600) vs. Pacers
The 28-year-old shooting guard is coming off a season-high 37-point performance in Monday's win over the Cavaliers, and he has now recorded at least 28.5 DK points in each of his last six games. With RJ Barrett (knee) sidelined, Ingram will likely continue to put up plenty of shot attempts. Over his last five games, the Duke product has averaged 24.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.2 combined steals-plus-blocks per contest.
Forwards/Centers
Alperen Sengun, Rockets 
($9,900) at Warriors
Sengun has put up relatively middle-of-the-road numbers in the Rockets' last two games against the Suns and Nuggets, though he still posted 32.8 and 29.3 DK points, respectively. That appears to be the star big man's floor, and he could be in line for a bounce-back game with Kevin Durant (personal) and Steven Adams (ankle) sidelined. Last time Adams was sidelined (Nov. 5 against Memphis), Sengun grabbed a season-high 16 rebounds and finished with 53.0 DK points. Over his last five outings, the 23-year-old center has averaged 23.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 38.0 minutes per contest.
Pascal Siakam, Pacers 
($8,800) at Raptors
Siakam continues to operate as the main option for a struggling Pacers squad, and he'll look to remain productive Wednesday against his former team. The star forward has tallied 41.5 or more DK points in five straight games, averaging 26.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.2 combined steals-plus-blocks in 35.8 minutes per contest during that span.
Dillon Brooks, Suns 
($6,700) at Kings
While Brooks has largely made a name for himself through his defensive intensity, the 29-year-old is currently on pace to average a career-high 22.0 points per game in 12 regular-season appearances with Phoenix. The veteran forward has posted at least 22 points in five of his last six outings, averaging 25.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.3 assists while shooting 51.3 percent from the field in 32.3 minutes per contest over that stretch. Plenty of shots should continue to fall his way with Jalen Green (hamstring) and Grayson Allen (quadriceps) remaining out.
Expected Chalk
Karl-Anthony Towns, Knicks 
($9,700) at Hornets
Towns has finished with 37.5 or more DK points in 12 consecutive contests, posting a double-double in 11 of them. The star big man has another favorable matchup against the Hornets, who rank 24th in the league in defensive rating (119.2). Over his last five games, Towns has averaged 28.0 points, 12.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.
Mid-Range Money
Ajay Mitchell, Thunder 
($6,000) vs. Timberwolves
Mitchell is coming off a 20-point performance in Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers and has reached double figures in all but one of his 18 regular-season appearances. Even if Shai Gilgeous-Alexander plays through his illness, Mitchell will likely continue to play an important role on both ends of the floor. Over his last five appearances, the 23-year-old guard has averaged 14.0 points, 3.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 27.0 minutes per contest.
Saddiq Bey, Pelicans 
($5,100) vs. Grizzlies
After missing the 2024-25 campaign due to a torn ACL, Bey has carved out a consistent role with the Pelicans this season. With Herbert Jones (calf) sidelined the last two games, Bey has started and supplied at least 42.8 DK points both games. In nine starts this season, the 26-year-old forward has averaged 15.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.9 steals across 31.1 minutes per game.
Value Picks
Malik Monk, Kings 
($4,400) vs. Suns
Monk is fresh off a season-high 22-point performance during Monday's overtime win over Minnesota in Sacramento and continues to perform much better at home, averaging 15.3 points, 2.4 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 24.0 minutes per contest in seven outings at Golden 1 Center. The 24-year-old has been solid off the bench of late amid Zach LaVine's struggles, and Monk could see an uptick in minutes if Dennis Schroder (shoulder) is ultimately ruled out.
Sandro Mamukelashvili, Raptors ($4,300) vs. Pacers
While Jakob Poeltl is set to play in a second straight game, Mamukelashvili still brings plenty of value off the bench. The 26-year-old has posted at least 22.5 DK points in three consecutive games (one start), averaging 15.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 23.0 minutes per contest during that stretch.
T.J. McConnell, Pacers ($3,600) at Raptors
The Pacers have been easing McConnell back into action after he missed the team's first 10 regular-season games due to a left hamstring strain, and he logged a season-high 22 minutes in Monday's loss to Detroit. The veteran point guard has generated at least 21.8 DK points in three consecutive contests, averaging 13.3 points, 5.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 17.7 minutes per contest over that span.
