Elite Players
Guards
Trae Young, Hawks 
($8,800) at Wizards
Young topped 50 DK points six times and is averaging 25.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 10.6 assists and 2.0 steals through 10 games. He should keep up the strong play against the Wizards, who face the second game of a back-to-back and are dealing with injury trouble in the backcourt. Young also recorded 45 DK points in his previous encounter with the Wizards this season.
Jaylen Brown, Celtics 
($9,100) vs. Trail Blazers
Brown logged at least 50 DK points in three straight outings, with a high of 63.8, while averaging 32.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. He has another chance to shine against the Trail Blazers, who give up the league's eighth-most points per game to shooting guards and allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.7 percent from the field.
Forwards/Centers
Brandon Ingram, Pelicans 
($8,400) vs. Mavericks
Ingram continues to lead his squad, averaging 25.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists, with a high of 59.5 DK points over the last five games. He has a great chance to flourish once again, as the Mavs face the second game of a back-to-back and allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.6 percent from the field.
Kevin Durant, Suns 
($9,800) vs. Thunder
Durant is averaging 26.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 blocks, with a high of 52.8 DK points in three games since joining the Suns. He faces another excellent chance to thrive against the Thunder, who give up the league's most rebounds and fourth-most points per game to power forwards.
Nikola Jokic, Nuggets 
($11,600) vs. Bulls
Jokic continues to dominate the stat sheet, averaging 20.8 points, 14.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists through five games, including a high of 86.3 DK points. The Nuggets' big man totaled 41.5 DK points in his last encounter with the Bulls and should prosper again, as they remain relatively undersized in the frontcourt.
Expected Chalk
Devin Booker, Suns ($9,500) vs. Thunder
Since Kevin Durant made his debut with the Suns, Booker has been on fire, averaging 36.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.0 steals, including two games with at least 60 DK points. Booker should continue to excel with a favorable matchup against the Thunder, who are shorthanded in the backcourt and give up the league's most free throws and fifth-most three-pointers per game.
Value Picks
Daniel Gafford, Wizards 
($5,000) vs. Hawks
Gafford is averaging 9.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists through 10 games, including four with more than 25 DK points and a high of 36.8. He faces a favorable opportunity to stand out against the Hawks, who give up the league's fifth-most rebounds per game and the 11th-most points per game to centers.
Caleb Martin, Heat 
($4,700) vs. Cavaliers
Martin is on a roll, averaging 16.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in the last three games, including a high of 33.5 DK points in the most recent outing. He faces a tough matchup against the Cavaliers, but he could also be up for a boost in playing time if Kevin Love (questionable) is sidelined.
Bruce Brown, Nuggets ($3,800) vs. Bulls
Brown continues to deliver a well-rounded effort off the bench, averaging 12.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists over the last five games, including three with at least 26 DK points. He should continue to fill the stat sheet against the Bulls, who give up the league's second-most threes per game.
Isaiah Joe, Thunder 
($4,400) at Suns
Joe is expected to pick up the start in the absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Joe topped 25 DK points in three of his last four starts and is averaging 14.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists across eight games since the All-Star break.
Patrick Beverley, Bulls 
($4,100) at Nuggets
Beverley topped 20 DK points three times, and is averaging 4.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists through six games since joining the Bulls. He faces a good chance to pad his stats against the Nuggets, who give up the league's ninth-most turnovers and the fifth-most points per game to point guards.
