Elite Players
Guards
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder 
($9,800) vs. Suns
Gilgeous-Alexander amassed 58.8 DK points in the last game and is averaging 33.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals over 10 appearances, including seven with at least 45 DK points. He should keep rolling offensively against the Suns, who give up the league's 10th-most points and third-most free throws per game to point guards.
Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers 
($9,100) vs. Pacers
Mitchell topped 40 points in back-to-back games and is averaging 34.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 50.8 percent from the field over the last five outings. He has a great chance to keep up the strong play against the Pacers, who give up the league's fourth-most free throws and allow opponents to shoot an average of 37.2 percent from long range.
Forwards/Centers
Kevin Durant, Suns 
($8,900) at Thunder
Durant poured in 30 points on 11-of-15 shooting in the last game, which marked his second outing after a 20-day absence. He should continue to prosper against the Thunder, who give up the league's fifth-most three-pointers and fifth-most free throws per game.
Evan Mobley, Cavaliers ($8,600) vs. Pacers
Mobley logged a high of 62 DK points while averaging 18.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 10 outings. He faces a fantastic opportunity to shine against the Pacers, who give up the league's third-most rebounds per game and the third-most points to power forwards.
Joel Embiid, 76ers 
($11,000) at Bucks
Embiid is averaging 31.2 points, 10.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.3 blocks through 10 outings, including two with more than 70 DK points. He is up for a tough matchup against the Bucks, but he was impressive in their last meeting, with 56 DK points.
Expected Chalk
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks 
($11,300) vs. 76ers
Antetokounmpo is coming off a rough game as the Bucks got trampled by the Celtics on Sunday, but he should come out with an extra focus to help his team get back on track against another strong opponent. He is averaging 29.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.6 steals over his last five outings, and he totaled 58.3 DK points in the previous encounter with the Sixers.
Value Picks
Dennis Schroder, Lakers 
($4,800) at Rockets
Schroder logged a high of 39.3 DK points and is averaging 14.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.2 steals through five outings. He faces a great opportunity to stand out against the Rockets, who give up the league's most points per game to points guards.
Davion Mitchell, Kings 
($3,400) vs. Spurs
Mitchell is averaging 4.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals across five games, including a high of 28 DK points. He should have a chance to thrive against the Spurs, who are shorthanded and give up the league's most points, including the second-most bench points per game.
Saddiq Bey, Hawks 
($4,900) vs. Mavericks
Bey is up for a second consecutive start after he generated 32.3 DK points in the previous game. He is averaging 14.0 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists over five outings and is likely to keep his offensive rhythm going against the Mavs, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.5 percent from the field.
Maxi Kleber, Mavericks 
($3,600) at Hawks
Kleber topped 20 DK points in two of the last three outings, with a high of 28.5, while averaging 9.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks per game. He has a favorable opportunity to pad his stats against the Hawks, who give up the league's most points and second-most rebounds per game to power forwards.
Onyeka Okongwu, Hawks ($4,700) vs. Mavericks
Okongwu continues to make an impact off the bench, averaging 14.2 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.8 blocks over the last 10 games, including four with more than 30 DK points. He faces an advantageous matchup against the Mavs, who allow opposing centers to shoot an average of 59.9 percent from the field. The Mavs also give up the league's sixth-most free throws per game to centers.
