Elite Players
Guards
De'Aaron Fox, Kings 
($9,000) vs. Rockets
Fox faces a second consecutive matchup against the Rockets, after he turned in 24 points, two rebounds, nine assists and a steal for a total of 42.5 DK points in the prior meeting. He surpassed 40 DK points in seven of his last 10 games and should flourish once again, as the Rockets give up the league's fifth-most points per game to point guards. The Rockets are also shorthanded in the backcourt, without Kevin Porter.
Josh Giddey, Thunder 
($7,000) at Bulls
Giddey continues to fill the stat sheet, averaging 17.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.0 assists over 10 games, including five with more than 40 DK points and a high of 55.3. He should do well against the Bulls, who give up the league's third-most points per game to shooting guards and are also shorthanded in the backcourt.
Forwards/Centers
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers 
($9,900) vs. Nuggets
Leonard generated a season-high 60.8 DK points in his last appearance and is averaging 22.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.6 steals over 10 games. He will continue to carry a major load on offense in the absence of Paul George and has a good chance to excel against the Nuggets, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.0 percent from the field.
John Collins, Hawks 
($6,800) at Pacers
Collins must continue to step up in the absence of Clint Capela and could face an advantageous matchup as the Pacers have a couple frontcourt players listed as questionable for action. Collins is averaging 15.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.6 blocks over 10 games, and he topped 42 DK points in three of the last eight.
Nikola Vucevic, Bulls 
($8,500) vs. Thunder
Vucevic delivered a high of 65.5 DK points and exceeded 40 in eight of the last 10 outings, while averaging 16.6 points, 12.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. He has a chance to prosper against the Thunder, who give up a league-high in rebounds per game and also the league's second-most free throws per game.
Expected Chalk
CJ McCollum, Pelicans 
($9,400) at Pistons
McCollum has another chance to stand out while the Pelicans remain without Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson. He is averaging 26.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 steals across 10 games, including eight with at least 39 DK points and a high of 63. He faces a good opportunity to flourish against the Pistons, who give up the league's second most points per game to point guards.
Value Picks
Zach Collins, Spurs 
($4,600) vs. Warriors
Collins continues to make an impact off the bench, averaging 13.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists over five games. He should do well against the Warriors, who give up the league's sixth most rebounds per game.
Trey Lyles, Kings ($3,700) vs. Rockets
Lyles turned in 20 points, seven rebounds and two blocks for a total of 34.3 DK points in his previous meeting with the Rockets. He is also averaging 9.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 10 games, with a minimum of 19 DK points in eight.
Bennedict Mathurin, Pacers 
($4,800) vs. Hawks
Mathurin is averaging 16.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists through 10 outings, including four with more than 25 DK points. He has a chance to step up for his shorthanded squad and should get his offense going against the Hawks, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 47.4 percent from the field.
Doug McDermott, Spurs ($3,500) vs. Warriors
McDermott continues to produce off the bench, averaging 12.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists across five games, including a high of 26.8 DK points in the last outing. He has a favorable matchup against the Warriors, who give up the league's fifth-most three-pointers per game.
John Wall, Clippers ($4,500) vs. Nuggets
Wall is averaging 8.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists in his last 10 appearances, including two where he went over 30 DK points. He is coming off three days of rest and should do well against the Nuggets, who give up the league's fourth-most points per game to point guards.
