Edwards faces the second game of a home-and-home matchup against the Rockets after pouring in a season-high 44 points in their prior meeting. He's averaging 24.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.4 steals over 10 games and has a good chance to shine again, as the Rockets give up the league's fifth-most points per game to shooting guards.

Jayson Tatum, Magic ($10,900) at Magic
Tatum is averaging 31.6 points, 9.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in his last 10 appearances, including three in which he surpassed 70 DK points.

Walker Kessler, Jazz ($5,800) vs. Hornets
Kessler is averaging 11.5 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 blocks across six consecutive starts. He should be up for a productive outing against the Hornets, who give up the league's fifth-most points and second-most rebounds per game to centers.

Dosunmu is averaging 10.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals through the last 10 games, with a high of 34.5 DK points.
