Elite Players
Guards
De'Aaron Fox, Kings (8,100) at Pistons
After a string of quieter outings, Fox produced 53.5 DK points last time out. He should excel again as the Pistons give up the league's eighth most points to opposing point guards and also allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.1 percent from the field. Fox also averages 22.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.0 steals on the season.
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves ($8,900) at Thunder
Edwards is averaging 23.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 3.0 steals across the last 10 games, including seven over 39 DK points. He averages 7.1 three-point attempts and is primed to do well against the Thunder as they concede an average of 13.2 threes and give up the league's third most points per game.
Forwards/Centers
Kelly Oubre, Hornets ($7,500) vs. Hawks
Oubre is producing at a high level by posting 24.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.0 steals through the last 10 games, including over 40 DK points in five. He also recorded 41 DK points during the previous meeting with the Hawks. Oubre has a chance for another solid outing as Atlanta allows 25 free-throw attempts per game and opponents shoot 47.5 percent from the field.
Tobias Harris, 76ers ($6,800) vs. Warriors
Harris is averaging 19.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals over the last 10 games, topping 40 DK points in six. He has a favorable matchup against the Warriors, who are shorthanded and also allow the league's fifth most points.
Mason Plumlee, Hornets ($6,100) vs. Hawks
Plumlee should do well against the Hawks, who give up the fifth most rebounds per game and are also without their starting frontcourt of John Collins and Clint Capela. Plumlee averages 9.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists on the season, and has exceeded 30 DK points in six of the last seven.
Expected Chalk
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder ($9,700) vs. Timberwolves
Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 31.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.7 steals across his last 10 outings, surpassing 45 DK points in seven. He has a great opportunity to keep it rolling against the Timberwolves, who give up a league-high 27.2 points per game to point guards and a league-high 14.2 three-pointers. They also average 16.1 turnovers per game, which is third-highest in the league.
Value Picks
Naz Reid, Timberwolves ($4,000) at Thunder
Reid is averaging 10.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.7 blocks in 19 minutes since Karl-Anthony Towns has been sidelined, and could be up for a bigger boost if Rudy Gobert is also out. Reid has a favorable matchup against the Thunder, who give up the league's most rebounds.
Jalen Williams, Thunder ($4,600) vs. Timberwolves
Williams earned himself the start in four of the last five appearances. He should continue to receive big minutes as he's averaged 12.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists during that span and delivered 27 DK points in the last two. Williams also benefits as he will face a weakened Timberwolves frontcourt.
Jaden McDaniels, Timberwolves ($4,200) at Thunder
McDaniels topped 19 DK points in three of the last five while averaging 8.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals. He should do well against a subpar Thunder defense and rebounding, and could be up for more opportunity if the Timberwolves are missing Gobert and/or Russell.
Alex Caruso, Bulls ($3,800) vs. Knicks
Caruso is averaging 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.9 steals from his last 10 outings, with at least 19 DK points in six. He has a favorable matchup against the Knicks, who give up the 10th-most points to point guards and the seventh most three-pointers per game.
Malcolm Brogdon, Celtics ($4,900) vs. Magic
Brogdon has exceeded 27 DK points in seven of the last 10 matchups while averaging 14.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists. He should keep rolling with the Magic giving up the league's sixth-most points per game to point guards.
