Elite Players
Guards
Tyrese Haliburton, Pacers 
($10,900) at Pistons
Haliburton is on a roll, averaging 29.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 11.8 assists and 1.0 steals over the last 10 games, including seven double-doubles and one triple-double. He topped 60 DK points on six occasions during that span, including three with more than 70. He has a great chance to continue to shine against the Pistons, who give up a league-high 30.2 points per game to opposing point guards.
Paul George, Clippers 
($8,500) vs. Trail Blazers
George reached the 40 DK-point mark in each of the last three games and seven times in the last 10 games while averaging 22.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals over that span. He faces a great opportunity to thrive against the Trail Blazers, who are allowing opponents to shoot an average of 48.1 percent from the field. George also totaled 45.8 DK points in his previous meeting with the Trail Blazers this season.
Forwards/Centers
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers ($8,100) vs. Trail Blazers
Leonard totaled 58.8 DK points in the previous game, as he poured in 41 points on 14-for-23 shooting. He has averaged 24.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over the last 10 outings, including a total of three appearances with at least 50 DK points. Leonard should also pad his stats against the Trail Blazers, who are giving up the league's third-most steals per game to opposing power forwards.
Paolo Banchero, Magic 
($8,400) vs. Cavaliers
Banchero amassed 42 points, six rebounds and two blocks in the previous meeting with the Cavs. He has averaged 22.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.9 blocks over his last 10 outings, including five with more than 40 DK points and a high of 56.8. He faces an advantageous matchup, as the Cavs will be without interior defender Evan Mobley.
Alperen Sengun, Rockets 
($8,900) vs. Spurs
Sengun surpassed 40 DK points in seven of the last 10 games, including four with more than 50, and a high of 58.8. He has averaged 22.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 blocks over that span, including five double-doubles. Sengun faces another good chance to prosper against the Spurs, who are giving up the league's second-most points per game to opposing centers.
Expected Chalk
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks 
($11,200) vs. Bulls
Antetokounmpo continues to deliver massive numbers, averaging 33.0 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.5 blocks over the last 10 games, including seven with more than 60 DK points and two with more than 70. He should keep up the dominance against the Bulls after he finished with 64 DK points in their last meeting. The Bulls also give up the league's second-most rebounds to opposing power forwards.
Mid-Range Money
Dennis Schroder, Raptors 
($6,200) at Knicks
Schroder is coming off a quieter outing, where he finished with his fewest DK points since Nov. 13. Nonetheless, he has averaged 14.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists over the last 10 games, including four with more than 30 DK points and a high of 42. He faces a good opportunity to get back into rhythm against the Knicks, who are giving up the league's second-highest field-goal percentage to opposing point guards.
Jalen Green, Rockets ($6,700) vs. Spurs
Green has averaged 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists over the last 10 games, including three with more than 40 DK points and a high of 50. He faces an excellent opportunity to stand out against the Spurs, who are giving up the league's fourth-highest field-goal percentage to opposing shooting guards this season. Additionally, Green totaled 34.3 DK points in his previous encounter with the Spurs this year.
Isaiah Stewart, Pistons 
($5,700) vs. Pacers
Stewart has averaged 9.4 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists over his last 10 outings, including three with at least 30 DK points. He also faces a good opportunity to stand out, as he must step up in the absence of Jalen Duren, and likely Marvin Bagley. Additionally, the Pacers give up the league's most points per game to opposing power forwards.
Value Picks
Donte DiVincenzo, Knicks 
($4,500) vs. Raptors
DiVincenzo is expected to pick up his second consecutive start in place of Quentin Grimes, who has been struggling with his shot. DiVincenzo could also pick up added responsibility if Jalen Brunson and/or Immanuel Quickley are sidelined. DiVincenzo has averaged 10.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists over the last 10 games, including a high of 44.8 DK points.
Kelly Olynyk, Jazz 
($4,900) at Thunder
Olynyk logged 23.5 DK points in the last game, which marked his return from a two-game absence. He also averaged 7.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists in the 10 games before his absence, including two with more than 30 DK points. Olynyk is also in line to play a larger role, as Walker Kessler (foot) and Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) will be sidelined.
