Elite Players
Guards
Trae Young, Hawks 
($9,500) at Hornets
Young surpassed 50 DK points in six of the last 10 games, including a high of 65.3, while averaging 27.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, 11.3 assists and 1.6 steals over that span. He faces a great opportunity to keep rolling against the Hornets, who give up the league's fifth-most three-pointers per game. Young finished with 37.8 DK points in his previous encounter with the Hornets, in the Hawks' first game of the season.
Brandon Ingram, Pelicans 
($8,100) vs. Wizards
Ingram is averaging 22.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.3 blocks across the last 10 games, including four with more than 40 DK points and a high of 68. He enters a favorable matchup against the Wizards, who give up the league's second-most points per game, and as a result, he should have ample opportunity to keep up his high-level offensive contributions.
Forwards/Centers
Miles Bridges, Hornets 
($8,800) vs. Hawks
Bridges reached at least 50 DK points in four of the last 10 outings, including the most recent game, while averaging 24.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.1 steals over that span. He has a great opportunity to keep up the production against the Hawks, who give up the league's most points per game. The Hawks will also be shorthanded in the frontcourt.
Pascal Siakam, Pacers 
($7,900) at Raptors
Siakam is averaging 22.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.2 steals over the last 10 games, including a high of 53. He is likely to come in with an extra chip on his shoulder against his former squad, and he should excel as the Raptors give up the league's sixth-most points in the paint and eighth-most rebounds per game to opposing power forwards.
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs 
($9,200) at Mavericks
Wembanyama is coming off one of the performances of the year, as he recorded a triple-double with 27 points, 14 rebounds and 10 blocks in a road win against the Raptors. He totaled 78 DK points in the game and has gone over 50 in five of the last 10 games. He enters an advantageous matchup against the Mavericks, who concede the league's ninth-most points in the paint.
Expected Chalk
Kevin Durant, Suns 
($9,900) vs. Pistons
Durant is coming off three straight games with more than 50 DK points, as he continues to fill it up, averaging 25.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.4 blocks over the last 10 outings. He is up for a great chance to shine against the Pistons, who give up the league's fourth-most points and second-most free throws per game.
Mid-Range Money
Jusuf Nurkic, Suns ($6,700) vs. Pistons
Nurkic continues to provide the Suns with a strong paint presence, averaging 11.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.5 steals over his last 10 appearances, including a high of 55.3 DK points. He is likely to deliver a big performance against the Pistons, who give up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing centers.
Value Picks
Aaron Holiday, Rockets 
($3,600) at Grizzlies
Holiday topped 25 DK points in each of the last three games, averaging 16.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists over that span. He will continue to see added playing time in the absence of Fred VanVleet, and he should do well against the struggling and hobbled Grizzlies.
Eric Gordon, Suns ($4,700) vs. Pistons
Gordon is up for an extended role in the absence of Bradley Beal. Gordon topped 30 DK points in two of the last three games and is averaging 13.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals across 38 games where he played at least 25 minutes this season.
Jaime Jaquez, Heat 
($4,900) at 76ers
Jaquez reached the 20 DK-point mark in three of the last six games, including the last outing, where he totaled 12 points, three rebounds and four assists. He is up for another chance to shine, as he must continue to help pick up the slack for the Heat's shorthanded lineup.
Bruno Fernando, Hawks ($3,600) at Hornets
Fernando is averaging 7.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks over his last four appearances, including a high of 17.5 DK points. He faces a fantastic opportunity to turn in another solid performance, as he is in line for a significant boost in playing time with both Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu sidelined.
