Elite Players
Guards
Stephen Curry, Warriors 
($9,500) at Pacers
Curry is coming off one of his quietest games of the year, as he finished with a season-low 14.8 DK points in an easy win over the shorthanded 76ers. Curry will likely look to come out more impactful in what should be a competitive game against the Pacers. He also has a great opportunity to shine, as the Pacers give up the league's third-most points per game.
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves 
($8,500) at Bucks
Edwards amassed 68 DK points in the last game and is averaging 25.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists through the last 10 outings. His squad faces a tough matchup against the Bucks, but he should find plenty of room to thrive as the Bucks are giving up the league's second-most points per game to opposing shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
DeMar DeRozan, Bulls 
($7,700) at Memphis
DeRozan continues to lead the way for the Bulls' offense, averaging 21.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.9 steals over the last 10 games, including two with more than 50 DK points. He faces another great opportunity to prosper against the Grizzlies, who remain significantly shorthanded.
Paolo Banchero, Magic 
($8,200) vs. Spurs
Banchero is rolling, averaging 23.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.0 steals over the last 10 games, including a high of 62.3 DK points. He is up for a great chance to stand out against the Spurs, who give up the league's fifth-most points and second-most rebounds per game.
Nikola Vucevic, Bulls ($7,600) at Grizzlies
Vucevic dominates the paint, averaging 18.9 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 blocks through the last 10 games, including five with more than 40 DK points. He is up for another ideal opportunity to pad his stats against the Grizzlies, who give up the league's third-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Expected Chalk
Kevin Durant, Suns 
($9,600) vs. Jazz
Durant continues to make an impact across the stat sheet, averaging 26.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.7 blocks over the last 10 games, including three with more than 60 DK points and a high of 71. He may be on the hook to carry the offense if Devin Booker and Bradley Beal are both sidelined, and he also faces a favorable matchup against the Jazz, who give up the league's eighth-most points and third-most three-pointers per game.
Mid-Range Money
Josh Hart, Knicks 
($6,300) vs. Mavericks
Hart is up for a continued boost in playing time for the shorthanded Knicks. He is averaging 9.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists over the last five games, going over 30 DK points in each, including a high of 48.5.
Wendell Carter, Magic ($5,300) vs. Spurs
Carter is averaging 14.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists through the last 10 outings, including a high of 42.8 DK points. He faces an advantageous matchup against the Spurs, who concede the league's second-most points and fourth-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Precious Achiuwa, Knicks ($6,400) vs. Mavericks
Achiuwa should continue to see more opportunities among the Knicks' shorthanded frontcourt. He is averaging 13.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks over five consecutive starts, including a high of 44.5 DK points. He also faces a favorable matchup against the Mavs, who are shorthanded in the frontcourt.
Value Picks
Markelle Fultz, Magic ($4,500) vs. Spurs
Fultz looks to be finding his rhythm again after easing his way back from an extended absence. He is averaging 10.5 points 3.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals over the last four games, and he should do well against the Spurs, who give up the league's most points per game to opposing point guards.
Andrew Nembhard, Pacers 
($4,700) vs. Warriors
Nembhard is averaging 11.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists over the last 10 games, including five with more than 25 DK points. He should find opportunity to pad his stats against the Warriors, who give up the league's fifth-most free throws per game.
