Elite Players
Guards
Chris Paul, Warriors 
($7,000) vs. Rockets
Paul is expected to pick up his fourth consecutive start, while the Warriors remain shorthanded. He also faces a favorable matchup against the Rockets, who are on the second game of a back-to-back. Paul is averaging 9.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.6 steals on the season, and he has topped 34 DK points in his last three games.
Paul George, Clippers 
($8,600) at Spurs
George is averaging 24.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.4 steals per game and has reached at least 44 DK points in each of the last three outings, including a high of 55.8. He should continue to prosper with a favorable matchup against the Spurs, who are giving up the league's most points per game. George finished with 42 DK points in his previous encounter with the Spurs on Oct. 29.
Forwards/Centers
Jayson Tatum, Celtics 
($10,200) at Hornets
Tatum faces a great opportunity to stand out against the Hornets, who are giving up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing power forwards. Tatum is averaging 26.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.2 steals on the season, and he has gone over 50 DK points in six of his 13 outings.
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers ($8,100) at Spurs
Leonard is averaging 21.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game. He delivered a total of 51 DK points in his previous outing, and he finished with 21 points, three rebounds, four assists and two steals in his last meeting with the Spurs early this season. He should keep up the strong play, as the Spurs are allowing opponents to shoot an average of 50.0 percent from the field.
Bam Adebayo, Heat 
($9,100) at Bulls
Adebayo faces the second of back-to-back games against the Bulls after he logged 44 DK points in their game on Saturday.

He is averaging 22.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks on the season, and he should continue to thrive against the Bulls, who are giving up the league's fifth-most free-throw attempts to opposing centers.
Expected Chalk
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks 
($11,000) at Wizards
Antetokounmpo is coming off a monstrous performance Saturday against Dallas, where he totaled 75.8 DK points, with 40 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block. He faces another fantastic opportunity to stand out against the Wizards, who are giving up the league's third-most points per game while allowing opponents to shoot an average of 49.6 percent from the field.
Value Picks
Reggie Jackson, Nuggets 
($5,000) at Pistons
Jackson is up for his seventh consecutive start in place of Murray. Jackson is averaging 13.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game over that span, including four games with at least 20 DK points and a high of 33. He also faces an advantageous matchup against the Pistons, who are giving up the league's third-most points per game to opposing point guards.
Norman Powell, Clippers ($4,100) at Spurs
Powell is averaging 12.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game and has topped 20 DK points in seven of 11 outings on the season, with a high of 29. He faces a good opportunity to thrive against the Spurs, who are giving up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing shooting guards.
Jaden McDaniels, Timberwolves 
($4,200) vs. Knicks
McDaniels continues to see consistent action as a starter for the Timberwolves and is averaging 10.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists on the season. Aside from one game where he was ejected early in the first quarter, McDaniels has reached at least 15 DK points in four of the last five outings.
Harrison Barnes, Kings 
($4,800) at Pelicans
Barnes amassed 27 DK points in the last game and is averaging 11.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.8 blocks per game this season. He has a good chance to get his offense going against the Pelicans, who are giving up the league's 10th-most points per game and allowing opponents to shoot an average of 46.8 percent from the field.
Luke Kornet, Celtics ($4,300) at Hornets
Kornet is up for added playing time in the absence of Al Horford. He also faces a favorable matchup against the Hornets, who are shorthanded in the frontcourt. Kornet is averaging 4.0 points and 3.6 rebounds on the season and tallied at least 19 DK points in two of his last three appearances.
