Elite Players
Guards
Stephen Curry, Warriors 
($8,500) at Spurs
Curry is coming off a few relatively modest outings but is averaging 22.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists over the last five games, including a high of 50.3 DK points. He faces a great opportunity to step it up against the Spurs, who give up the league's most points per game to opposing point guards. Curry missed the last two games against the Spurs but finished with 50.3 DK points in an earlier encounter this season.
Paul George, Clippers 
($7,900) at Hornets
George is coming off a flat performance in the last game, but he is averaging 23.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks over the last 10 outings, including sixth with more than 45 DK points. He faces a good chance to prosper against the Hornets, who give up the league's fourth-highest shooting percentage and fifth-most three-pointers per game.
Forwards/Centers
Jimmy Butler, Heat 
($8,300) at Wizards
Butler has been in and out of the lineup over the last couple of weeks, but he played in four of the last five games, averaging 17.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.8 steals over that span, including one outing with a high of 50.5 DK points. He looks toward an ideal opportunity to shine against the Wizards, who give up the league's third-most points and most rebounds per game to opposing small forwards.
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers ($8,400) at Hornets
Leonard produced 63.8 DK points in the last game with 29 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, four steals and two blocks, in 38 minutes of action. He has a great chance to stand out again with an advantageous matchup against the Hornets, who give up the league's eighth-most points and fourth-highest shooting percentage to opposing power forwards.
Victor Wembanyama, Spurs 
($10,700) vs. Warriors
Wembanyama is coming off one of his most impressive games of the season, where he finished with 40 points, 20 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block for a total of 83 DK points in a home win over the Knicks. He is likely to stuff the stat sheet against the Warriors, who give up the league's seventh-most points and third-most free throws per game to opposing centers. Wembanyama also finished with 56.5 DK points in his previous encounter with the Warriors.
Expected Chalk
Bam Adebayo, Heat ($8,800) at Wizards
Adebayo finished with 56 DK points in the last game and surpassed 45 in seven of the last 10 outings while averaging 17.2 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks over that span. He has a fantastic opportunity to continue to shine against the Wizards, who give up the league's second-most points and most rebounds per game to opposing centers. Adebayo also finished with 46.5 DK points in his previous meeting with the Wizards.
Mid-Range Money
Andrew Wiggins, Warriors ($5,600) at Spurs
Wiggins surpassed 30 DK points in each of the last three games, including a high of 48 in the last outing while averaging 20.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 blocks over that span. He is up for another good chance to stand out with a matchup against the Spurs, who give up the league's fifth-highest three-point shooting percentage.
Jabari Smith, Rockets 
($6,400) vs. Mavericks
Smith amassed 29.3 DK points in the last game and is averaging 13.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals over his last 10 appearances. He must continue to step up for his team's shorthanded frontcourt, and he should prosper against the Mavs, who give up the league's ninth-most points in the paint per game.
Value Picks
Kobi Simmons, Raptors 
($3,500) vs. 76ers
Simmons is on a 10-day contract with the shorthanded Raptors, and he came up with 20.3 DK points in the last game, which marked his second appearance with the squad. He faces an advantageous matchup against the 76ers, who continue to deal with injuries in the backcourt.
Kyle Lowry, 76ers 
($4,600) at Raptors
Lowry turned in 36.8 DK points in the last game and is averaging 8.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals across his last 10 appearances. He is up for a favorable matchup against a heavily shorthanded Raptors team, and he should also continue to see increased responsibility for his own shorthanded side.
Nikola Jovic, Heat ($4,500) at Wizards
Jovic continues to pick up increased playing time for the shorthanded Heat and is averaging 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals over the last five games, including two with more than 25 DK points. He is likely to deliver a solid line against the Wizards, who give up the league's most points and most rebounds per game.
