Elite Players
Guards
LaMelo Ball, Hornets

Ball has strung together five consecutive games with more than 50 DK points, including a high of 65.3 in the last outing. He is averaging 25.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.5 steals on the season, and he is shooting an efficient 39.1 percent from long range. He also faces a favorable matchup against the Wizards, who are giving up the league's second-most points per game.
James Harden, Clippers 
($7,900) at Spurs
Harden seems to be finding his groove with his new squad, going over 30 DK points in each of the last three games, including a high of 47.3. He is averaging 16.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 steals through seven appearances on the season. Harden also faces a favorable matchup against the struggling Spurs, who are giving up the league's most points per game to opposing point guards.
Forwards/Centers
Paul George, Clippers ($8,800) at Spurs
George continues to lead the way offensively for the Clippers, with over 40 DK points in each of the last four games, including a high of 55.8. He is averaging 24.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.3 steals on the season, and he totaled 28 points, five rebounds and six assists in the previous encounter with the Spurs. He should be up for another big game, as the Spurs give up the league's third-most points per game.
Karl-Anthony Towns, Timberwolves 
($8,300) vs. 76ers
Towns topped 40 DK points in four of the last five outings, including three games with more than 50, and a high of 55.3. He faces an advantageous matchup against a 76ers frontcourt in the absence of Joel Embiid, and he will likely find a way to play key role in his squad remaining undefeated at home.
Alperen Sengun, Rockets 
($8,200) vs. Grizzlies
Sengun is aveaging 20.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 0.9 steals on the season. He has delivered back-to-back double-doubles, including a monstrous performance, with 30 points, 13 rebounds and five assists in the last game. He should continue to thrive going up an injury-riddled Grizzlies squad, which is giving up the league's eighth-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Expected Chalk
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder 
($9,700) vs. Bulls
Gilgeous-Alexander continues to shine with his stellar play, averaging 31.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.5 steals over his last 10 appearances. Despite the fact that he is coming off one of his quietest games of the season, finishing with just 38.8 DK points, he has a great chance to get back on track against the Bulls, who are giving up the league's fourth-most three-pointers per game.
Value Picks
Kyle Lowry, Heat 
($4,700) at Cavaliers
Lowry topped 25 DK points in back-to-back games and is averaging 7.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game. He faces a favorable matchup against the Cavs' shorthanded backcourt.
Cason Wallace, Thunder ($4,100) vs. Bulls
Wallace is expected to start in the absence of Jalen Williams. Wallace is averaging 7.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists on the season but has a great opportunity to step up in extended playing time.
Caleb Martin, Heat ($3,400) at Cavaliers
Martin has been relatively quiet since returning to action, averaging just 3.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists, through three games played. However, he has a good opportunity to get into a groove against a shorthanded Cavs squad, while also picking up extra playing time on behalf of his shorthanded squad.
Kyle Anderson, Timberwolves ($4,600) vs. 76ers
Anderson is expected to start in place of Jaden McDaniels. Anderson is averaging 7.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, and he is coming off back-to-back outings with more than 24 DK points.
Kelly Olynyk, Jazz 
($4,800) at Trail Blazers
