Elite Players
Guards
De'Aaron Fox, Kings 
($9,100) at Thunder
Fox surpassed 45 DK points in five of the last six games, including a high of 77.3 in a double-overtime win in his previous outing. He is averaging 25.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.1 steals on the season and should thrive against the Thunder, who are shorthanded in the backcourt and give up the league's third-most free throws per game.
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves 
($9,500) at Warriors
Edwards notched at least 50 DK points in three of the past five outings, with a high of 55.3, while averaging 28.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. He should excel against the shorthanded Warriors, who give up the league's most free throws and fourth-most points per game.
Forwards/Centers
Paul George, Clippers 
($8,300) at Nuggets
George is averaging 23.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.3 steals, over 10 outings, and he should be able to find his rhythm against the Nuggets, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 47.9 percent from the field. He should also pad his stats with a couple of steals, as the Nuggets give up the league's eighth-most turnovers per game.
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers ($9,300) at Nuggets
Leonard is averaging 27.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across his last 10 appearances, including five games with at least 50 DK points. He should continue to prosper against the Nuggets, who face the second game of a back-to-back and give up the league's sixth-most points in the paint.
Domantas Sabonis, Kings ($9,900) at Thunder
Sabonis has logged five straight double-doubles, including one triple-double and a high of 63.5 DK points, while averaging 20.4 points, 13.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game. He should continue to stuff the stat sheet against the Thunder, who give up the league's most rebounds per game.
Expected Chalk
Damian Lillard, Trail Blazers 
($11,400) vs. Rockets
Lillard (rest) missed the last game but is expected to be ready for action. He'll have to step up offensively to mitigate the absences of Jusuf Nurkic (calf) and Anfernee Simons (ankle). Lillard averages 31.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists on the season, and he has a great chance to flourish against the Rockets, who are missing their starting backcourt and give up the league's most three-pointers per game.
Value Picks
Drew Eubanks, Trail Blazers ($4,600) vs. Rockets
Eubanks is averaging 7.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over eight consecutive starts and will continue to play a major role in the absence of Jusuf Nurkic.
Jaden McDaniels, Timberwolves ($4,800) at Warriors
McDaniels is averaging 13.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists across the last five games and has a good chance to stuff the stat sheet against the shorthanded Warriors, who give up the league's fourth-most points per game.
Jae'Sean Tate, Rockets 
($4,200) at Trail Blazers
Tate totaled 29.8 DK points in Houston's last game and is averaging 9.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals over four consecutive starts. He will continue to see an increased role as the Rockets remain shorthanded.
Isaiah Joe, Thunder 
($3,900) vs. Kings
Joe poured in 39.8 DK points in the last game, where he got the start in place of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle/abdomen). The third-year guard is up for another start, as Gilgeous-Alexander remains out, and he should do well against the Kings, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 37.3 percent from long range.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Timberwolves ($3,200) at Warriors
Alexander-Walker finished with 23.3 DK points in his last game and should continue to see a fair amount of action with his new squad. He has a favorable matchup against the shorthanded Warriors, who give up the league's second-most points per game to point guards.
