Elite Players
Guards
Tyrese Maxey, 76ers 
($9,100) at Pistons
Maxey is averaging 26.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.6 assists over the last 10 games, including eight with more than 40 DK points and a high of 51.3. He also finished with a whopping 63.5 DK points in his previous meeting with the Pistons and should be up for another big performance, as the Pistons give up the league's eighth-most points per game.
Terry Rozier, Hornets 
($8,500) at Heat
Rozier delivered 60 DK points against the Heat in his last game, marking the second time he topped 60 in seven outings since returning from injury. He is also averaging 24.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.0 steals over that span. Rozier must continue to step up in the absence of LaMelo Ball, and he has a good chance to thrive against the Heat, who are giving up the league's fifth-highest field-goal percentage to opposing point guards.
Forwards/Centers
Jimmy Butler, Heat 
($8,800) vs. Hornets
Butler is averaging 25.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists across five games since returning from a two-game absence. He also delivered 43 DK points in a win over the Hornets on Monday, and he has a great chance to shine again, as the Hornets give up the league's seventh-most points per game to opposing small forwards.
Julius Randle, Knicks 
($8,600) at Jazz
Randle topped 50 DK points in four of the last six games, including a high of 62, while averaging 28.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists over that span. He faces a favorable matchup against the Jazz, who are shorthanded in the frontcourt. The Jazz also give up the league's ninth-most points and seventh-highest field-goal percentage per game to opposing power forwards.
Pascal Siakam, Raptors 
($8,100) vs. Hawks
Siakam has not delivered many outstanding performances this season, but he has been consistent, averaging 22.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.0 steals over the last 10 games, including a high of 59 DK points. Siakam should thrive against the Hawks, who are giving up the league's third-most points and highest field-goal percentage to opposing power forwards.
Expected Chalk
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks 
($11,400) vs. Pacers
Antetokounmpo continues to dominate both sides of the ball, averaging 32.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. He topped 60 DK points in seven of his last 10 outings, including a high of 73.3. He also faces a good opportunity to stuff the stat sheet again with a matchup against the Pacers, who give up 124.8 points per game, which is second most in the league.
Mid-Range Money
D'Angelo Russell, Lakers 
($6,900) at Spurs
Russell finished with less than 21 DK points in each of the last three games, but he is averaging 14.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.0 steals over the last 10 outings, including a high of 60.5 DK points. He faces a good chance to get back on track with a favorable matchup against the Spurs, who give up the league's second-most points per game to opposing point guards.
O.G. Anunoby, Raptors ($5,800) vs. Hawks
Anunoby topped 40 DK points in two of the last three games and is averaging 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists over his last 10 outings. He should do well against the Hawks, who are giving up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing shooting guards.
RJ Barrett, Knicks ($6,100) at Jazz
Barrett surpassed 30 DK points in each of the last three games and is averaging 17.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists over the last 10 games. He should prosper against the Jazz, who continue to deal with injury trouble, and who give up the league's sixth-most points per game to opposing small forwards.
Value Picks
David Roddy, Grizzlies 
($4,400) at Rockets
Roddy is up for his seventh consecutive start after averaging 9.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists over the last six games. He delivered a high of 30.5 DK points in that span and has a good chance to pad his stats against the Rockets, who are giving up the league's second-most free throws per game to opposing small forwards.
Isaiah Hartenstein, Knicks ($5,000) at Jazz
Hartenstein is up for extended playing time in the absence of Mitchell Robinson. Hartenstein is averaging 6.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.7 blocks over the last three games and should find a good chance to stand out against the Jazz's shorthanded frontcourt.
