Elite Players
Guards
De'Aaron Fox, Kings 
($8,800) at Grizzlies
Fox posted 52.8 DK points in Saturday's win over Dallas and has averaged 26.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.4 steals over the last five games. He has a great chance to continue filling it up with a matchup against the Grizzlies' shorthanded backcourt. The Grizzlies also give up the league's third-most three-pointers to opposing point guards.
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves 
($8,500) at Thunder
Edwards produced 62 DK points in Saturday's loss to the Spurs, as he tallied a double-double including 32 points and 12 assists. Edwards has averaged 24.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists over the last 10 games, and he should thrive against the Thunder, who give up the league's fifth-most points per game to opposing shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
Jimmy Butler, Heat 
($7,600) vs. Suns
Butler has averaged 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.9 steals since returning from a seven-game absence, highlighted by a 50.5 DK-point performance in Saturday's loss to New York. Butler faces an advantageous matchup against the Suns, who are in the second game of a back-to-back set and who also give up the league's sixth-most turnovers per game.
Paolo Banchero, Magic 
($8,400) at Mavericks
Banchero topped 40 DK points in each of his last two outings and has averaged 21.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists over the last 10 games. He has a good chance to keep it rolling against the Mavericks, who give up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing power forwards.
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs 
($8,900) vs. Wizards
Wembanyama has exceeded 49 DK points in each of the last five games while averaging 25.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.2 blocks over that span. He has a fantastic opportunity to prosper against the Wizards, who give up the league's second-most points in the paint.
Expected Chalk
Nikola Jokic, Nuggets 
($11,300) vs. Bucks
The 28-year-old will be engaged in a battle of titans against Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Jokic is primed to deliver dominance on the stat sheet, as he has averaged 32.8 points, 12.8 rebounds and 7.4 assists across his last five outings. He is likely to establish himself inside, as the Bucks give up the league's seventh-most points in the paint.
Mid-Range Money
Jordan Poole, Wizards 
($5,800) at Spurs
Poole has averaged 17.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals over the last 10 games, including five with at least 30 DK points and a high of 50. He has a great chance to stand out against the Spurs, who give up the league's fourth-highest three-point percentage to opposing shooting guards.
Mikal Bridges, Nets 
($7,200) vs. Jazz
Bridges surpassed 50 DK points in three of the last 10 games while averaging 25.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per outing. He faces a good chance to continue filling the stat sheet, as the Jazz give up the league's eighth-most points and third-most three-pointers per game.
Value Picks
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Timberwolves ($4,500) at Thunder
Alexander-Walker has started three of the last four games while Mike Conley has been sidelined and has a good chance to keep the momentum going against the Thunder, who are in the second game of a back-to-back set.
Cedi Osman, Spurs ($3,100) vs. Wizards
Osman has averaged 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 14.9 minutes per game over the last 10 games. He should find room to establish his presence on the box score against a Wizards team that gives up the league's most points per game.
Moritz Wagner, Magic ($4,800) at Mavericks
Wagner reached 38 DK points in Sunday's win over Phoenix, which marked the fourth time in the last 10 outings that he surpassed 30. He has a good opportunity to keep the momentum going against the Mavericks, who give up the league's fourth-most rebounds to opposing centers.
