Elite Players
Guards
Dejounte Murray, Hawks 
($9,800) at Lakers
Murray continues to shine in the absence of Trae Young, averaging 26.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.5 steals over the last 10 games, including four with more than 50 DK points and a high of 64.8. He has a good opportunity to keep rolling against the Lakers, who concede the league's third-most points per game to opposing point guards.
Anfernee Simons, Trail Blazers 
($7,700) at Bulls
Simons returned from a one-game absence and logged 25 points, four rebounds and eight assists for 42 DK points in the last game. He has averaged 25.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists across his last 10 appearances, and he has a good chance to get his offense going against the Bulls, who give up the league's second-most three-pointers per game.
Forwards/Centers
DeMar DeRozan, Bulls 
($8,300) vs. Trail Blazers
DeRozan is on a roll, averaging 25.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists over the last 10 games, including six with more than 40 DK points and a high of 67.3. He has a favorable matchup against the Trail Blazers, who give up the league's sixth-highest field-goal percentage to opposing small forwards. He should also pad his stats at the foul line, as the Trail Blazers give up the league's fifth-most free throws per game.
Jayson Tatum, Celtics 
($9,900) vs. Pistons
Tatum continues to deliver dominant performances, averaging 27.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists over the last 10 games, including four with more than 50 DK points and a high of 58.3. He has a prime opportunity to prosper against the Pistons, who give up the league's fifth-most points and second-most free throws per game. Tatum also finished with 65.8 DK points in his previous encounter with the Pistons.
Bam Adebayo, Heat 
($8,700) at 76ers
Adebayo topped 40 DK points in each of the last four games, including a high of 48.3, and he has averaged 16.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks over the last five outings. He faces an advantageous matchup against the 76ers' shorthanded frontcourt, and he is likely to shine after delivering 49.8 DK points in their previous encounter.
Expected Chalk
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves 
($10,000) at Jazz
Edwards faces the second of back-to-back meetings with the Jazz after he produced 65 DK points on 31 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks in their last game. It also marked the second time Edwards topped 60 DK points in the last five games, and he has averaged 31.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks over that span.
Mid-Range Money
Dalano Banton, Trail Blazers ($5,600) at Bulls
Banton continues to impress since joining the Trail Blazers, averaging 18.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals over the last three games. He is looking at his seventh start in the last eight outings, as the squad remains shorthanded in the backcourt.
Caris LeVert, Cavaliers 
($6,800) at Pacers
LeVert is coming off an impressive outing Saturday against Houston, where he finished with 21 points, three rebounds, seven assists, three steals and a block for a total of 43.3 DK points. He has a prime opportunity to keep rolling against the Pacers, who give up the league's second-most points and most free throws per game. He also remains up for an increased role among the Cavaliers' shorthanded backcourt.
Value Picks
Kyle Lowry, 76ers 
($4,900) vs. Heat
Lowry delivered 29 DK points in the last game, and he has averaged 8.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.1 steals across eight consecutive starts. He will likely come out with an extra edge against his former squad, and he also has the advantage of taking on the Heat while they face the second game of a back-to-back.
Georges Niang, Cavaliers ($4,500) at Pacers
Niang is looking at a seventh consecutive start while the Cavaliers remain shorthanded in the frontcourt. He has averaged 14.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists over the last six games, and he has a good chance to shine against the Pacers, who give up the league's second-most points per game to opposing power forwards.
Jabari Walker, Trail Blazers ($4,700) at Bulls
Walker amassed 16.8 DK points in the last game, which marked his return from a week-long absence. He averaged 11.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists across the five games before his absence, and he should continue to work his way back into rhythm, likely picking up additional playing time for his shorthanded squad.
