Elite Players
Guards
Tyrese Maxey, 76ers 
($9,300) vs. Kings
Maxey came up huge with 35 points, eight rebounds, nine assists and four steals, for a total of 67 DK points in the last game, as he rose to the occasion in the absence of Joel Embiid. With Embiid remaining out, Maxey has an opportunity to lead the offense once again. He also faces a favorable matchup against the Kings, who give up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing point guards.
Paul George, Clippers 
($8,200) at Grizzlies
George delivered 55.3 DK points in the last game, as he tallied 29 points, seven rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block in 38 minutes of action. It marked the second time in five games that he topped 50 DK points, while he is averaging 26.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.0 steals over that span. George should thrive once again with an advantageous matchup versus the Grizzlies, who give up the league's fifth-highest three-point percentage to opponents.
Forwards/Centers
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers ($8,700) at Grizzlies
Leonard continues to stuff the stat sheet, averaging 22.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.6 blocks over the last five games, including two with more than 50 DK points. He faces a favorable matchup and should pad his stats against the hobbled Grizzlies, who also give up the league's eighth-most turnovers per game.
Karl-Anthony Towns, Timberwolves 
($8,200) vs. Trail Blazers
Towns totaled 56.3 DK points in the last game, which marks his highest total since December 16, but he is averaging 24.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals over the last five games. He also has a prime opportunity to stand out against the Trail Blazers, who are giving up the league's fifth-most rebounds and third-most points in the paint per game.
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs 
($9,100) vs. Hornets
Wembanyama is averaging 21.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.0 blocks over the last five games, including three with more than 50 DK points and a high of 54. He is up for an excellent opportunity to thrive against the Hornets, who are shorthanded in the frontcourt, and who give up the league's second-most points and second-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Expected Chalk
Domantas Sabonis, Kings 
($10,200) at 76ers
Sabonis continues to roll, averaging 23.6 points, 14.0 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 0.9 blocks across the last 10 games, including four with more than 60 DK points and a high of 77.5. He faces another great opportunity to prosper against the 76ers, while they are without the services of Joel Embiid.
Mid-Range Money
Jalen Green, Rockets 
($6,000) at Pistons
Green totaled 39.5 DK points in the last game and is averaging 16.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists over the last 10 games. He is up for an advantageous matchup against the Pistons, who give up the league's fourth-most points per game, while allowing opponents to shoot an average of 49.6 percent from the field.
DeMar DeRozan, Bulls 
($7,100) vs. Warriors
DeRozan is averaging 21.0 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals over the last 10 games, including three with more than 40 DK points and a high of 44.8. He should continue to do well against the Warriors, who allow opponents to shoot 47.4 percent from the field and give up the league's fifth-most free throws per game.
Nikola Vucevic, Bulls ($7,300) vs. Warriors
Vucevic topped 40 DK points in his last two outings and is averaging 16.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists across three games since returning from a five-game absence. He is likely to do well against the Warriors, who remain shorthanded in the frontcourt, and who give up the league's sixth-most points per game to opposing centers.
Value Picks
Markelle Fultz, Magic 
($5,000) at Heat
Fultz is only working his way back into action, finishing with 10 DK points in each of his two games since returning from an extended absence. Nonetheless, he has a good chance to continue to build a rhythm, as he could see added playing time for his shorthanded squad, and he also faces an injury-riddled Heat team.
Obi Toppin, Pacers 
($4,700) at Hawks
Toppin picked up the start last game and finished with 28.8 DK points in 28 minutes of action. He is averaging 9.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists over the last 10 games, but he faces a great chance to excel against the Hawks, who give up the league's second-most points per game to opposing power forwards. He could also continue to see a boost as his own squad continues to manage injury trouble.
