Elite Players
Guards
James Harden, Clippers 
($8,200) at Raptors
Harden produced 47.5 DK points in the last game and is coming off back-to-back double-doubles with points and assists. He is averaging 16.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 9.9 assists over the last 10 outings, including three with more than 45 DK points. He should do well against the Raptors, who give up the league's eighth-most points in the paint, and who allow opponents to shoot an average of 38.2 percent from long range. Harden also has a favorable matchup, as the Raptors are shorthanded at point guard.
Devin Booker, Suns 
($9,300) at Pacers
Booker delivered 65.3 DK points with 46 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in the last game. It marked the second time he topped 65 DK points within the last five games, as he had turned in a season-high 52 points and totaled a season-high 67 DK points just five days earlier. Booker has a great opportunity to keep the momentum going against the Pacers, who are shorthanded in the backcourt, and who give up the league's highest field-goal percentage per game.
Forwards/Centers
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers ($8,600) at Raptors
Leonard amassed 63.3 DK points in the last game and is averaging 22.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks over the last 10 outings. He faces a prime opportunity to keep rolling with a matchup against his former squad, who are currently giving up the league's second-most points per game to opposing small forwards. Leonard could also be up for an increased load on offense if Paul George is out.
Pascal Siakam, Pacers 
($7,500) vs. Suns
Siakam finished with 61.3 DK points in the last game, as he tallied a triple-double with 26 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Pacers in a 134-122 win over the shorthanded 76ers. He has another chance to lead the offense, as the Pacers remain without Tyrese Haliburton. He faces a tough matchup against Kevin Durant in the frontcourt, but he has often shown he can rise to the challenge.
Alperen Sengun, Rockets 
($8,600) at Hornets
Sengun topped 55 DK points in each of the last three games, including a high of 69, while averaging 30.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.0 steals over that span. He is up for a great chance to keep the momentum going against the Hornets, who give up the league's most points and second-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Expected Chalk
Luka Doncic, Mavericks 
($11,300) at Hawks
Doncic continues to dazzle, scoring more than 30 points in each of his last six appearances, while averaging 34.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.7 steals over that span. He faces the obligation to step up on offense in the absence of Kyrie Irving, and he should get his game going from long range, as the Hawks give up the league's fifth-highest three-point percentage per game. Doncic averaged 26.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists across two meetings with the Hawks last season.
Mid-Range Money
Dennis Schroder, Raptors 
($5,200) vs. Clippers
Schroder is up for the start and an extended role in the absence of Immanuel Quickley. Schroder is averaging 11.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 4.0 assists over the last 10 games, but he averaged 15.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.0 steals through 31 games as a starter.
Bradley Beal, Suns ($6,900) at Pacers
Beal is averaging 20.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 0.9 steals over the last 10 games, including five with more than 35 DK points and a high of 55. He faces a good chance to shine against the Pacers, who give up the league's most points per game to opposing shooting guards.
Value Picks
Norman Powell, Clippers ($4,800) at Raptors
Powell is averaging 13.9 points and 2.9 rebounds over the last 10 games, including a high of 31.8 DK points. He could be up for added playing time if the Clippers are without Paul George.
Josh Green, Mavericks ($4,200) at Hawks
Green is up for his 10th consecutive start, after averaging 9.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists and posting a high of 29.3 DK points through his last nine appearances. He should find plenty of opportunity to rack up stats against the Hawks, who give up the league's third-most points per game.
Onyeka Okongwu, Hawks 
($4,600) vs. Mavericks
Okongwu faces a favorable matchup against the Mavericks, who are shorthanded in the frontcourt. He is averaging 7.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks over the last five games, and he could also see extra playing time as his own squad is managing injuries in the frontcourt.
