Elite Players
Guards
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder 
($9,200) at Pelicans
Gilgeous-Alexander scored at least 33 points in each of his last three outings, including two with more than 60 DK points. He has had success against the Pelicans this season, with 44.5 DK points in their last encounter and 73.5 in the meeting before that.
Devin Booker, Suns 
($9,900) vs. Kings
Booker topped 55 DK points in four of the last five outings, including two with more than 60, while averaging 35.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game. He should do well against the Kings, who give up the league's third-most points per game to shooting guards. Booker also totaled 44.8 DK points in his previous encounter with the Kings and must step up to lead the way again in the absence of Kevin Durant.
Forwards/Centers
DeMar DeRozan, Bulls 
($8,200) at Rockets
DeRozan has been relatively quiet lately, averaging 21.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.2 steals through five games, including a high of 44.5 DK points. He faces an excellent chance to get in rhythm and excel against the Rockets, who give up the league's third-most points and 11th-most free throws per game.
Lauri Markkanen, Jazz 
($9,700) at Hornets
Markkanen continues to thrive, averaging 27.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists over the last five games, including a high of 51 DK points. He has a great chance to keep up the strong play against the Hornets, who allow opponents to shoot 47.7 percent from the field and give up the league's seventh-most points per game.
Bam Adebayo, Heat 
($7,800) at Magic
Adebayo is averaging 20.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals through 10 games, including three with more than 50 DK points. He should continue to fill it up against the Magic, after he topped 40 DK points in their last two meetings.
Expected Chalk
Jayson Tatum, Celtics 
($10,600) at Hawks
Tatum topped 60 DK points twice, including a high of 68.8, while averaging 29.4 points, 9.8 rebounds and 6.0 assists through his last five appearances. He faces a favorable matchup against the Hawks, who give up a league-high in points per game to power forwards. Tatum also logged 44.3 DK points in his last encounter with the Hawks.
Value Picks
Jalen Duren, Pistons 
($4,800) vs. Pacers
Duren looked good with eight points, nine rebounds, two assists and a block in 21 minutes of action in his return after a six-game absence. He should be up for another solid outing against the Pacers, who give up the league's third-most points per game to centers.
Patrick Williams, Bulls ($3,900) at Rockets
Williams is averaging 11.7 points and 3.0 rebounds since the All-Star break, including a high of 33 DK points. He should fare well against the Rockets, who give up the league's most three-pointers per game and also allow opponents to shoot an average of 47.9 percent from the field.
Terrence Ross, Suns ($3,800) vs. Kings
Ross recorded 36.5 DK points in his last outing, which marked the third time in the previous five games that he went over 24. He will continue to have more opportunities to stand out while the Suns deal with injuries at the wing.
Grayson Allen, Bucks 
($4,700) at Warriors
Allen has been on roll, averaging 14.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals through five games, including three with more than 30 DK points. He faces a good chance to flourish against the Warriors, who give up the league's sixth-most points and sixth-most three-pointers per game.
Victor Oladipo, Heat ($4,300) at Magic
Oladipo is averaging 10.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists over the last five outings, including a high of 34 DK points. He provides a boost off the bench for Miami and should prosper against the Magic, who give up the league's fourth-most threes per game.
