Elite Players
Guards
Ja Morant, Grizzlies ($10,400) at Magic
Morant is averaging 25.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 8.5 assists across 10 games, including five with more than 50 DK points. He should prosper in his matchup with the Magic, who are shorthanded and give up the league's 10th most points per game to point guards.
Jordan Clarkson, Jazz ($7,600) at Rockets
Clarkson topped 30 DK points in seven of the last 10 games, with a high of 57.5, and also finished with 43.5 in his last meeting with the Rockets. He has an opportunity to keep up the strong play, as the Rockets give up the league's seventh most points per game to shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers ($8,100) at Nuggets
Did not play in the last game but is expected to be ready for action. He topped 38 DK points in his last four outings and is averaging 17.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists on the season. He should be able to get his offense going against the Nuggets, who allow opponents to shoot 48.6 percent from the field.
Lauri Markkanen, Jazz ($9,000) at Rockets
Markkanen surpassed 50 DK points in four of the last 10 games, with a high of 56.5, while averaging 28.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists. He has a favorable matchup against the Rockets, who give up a league-high 14.2 three-pointers per game.
Alperen Sengun, Rockets ($5,800) vs. Jazz
Sengun is averaging 14.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in his last 10 outings, including back-to-back games with over 30 DK points and a high of 53.8. He should continue to thrive against the Jazz, who give up the league's second most points and fourth most rebounds to opposing centers.
Expected Chalk
Jayson Tatum, Celtics ($10,900) at Mavericks
Tatum surpassed 60 DK points in two of the last five games, while averaging 32 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals. He has a size advantage at his position against in the absence of Dorian Finney-Smith, who would otherwise be his primary defender. He also has a good chance to flourish, considering the Mavericks allow opponents to shoot an average of 48 percent from the field.
Value Picks
Ivica Zubac, Clippers ($4,900) at Nuggets
Zubac exceeded 39 DK points in three of the last five outings, with a high of 47. He has a tough matchup against Nikola Jokic, but he needs to step up to meet the challenge. Zubac tallied 16.8 DK points in his last meeting with the Nuggets.
Grant Williams, Celtics ($3,600) at Mavericks
Williams is averaging 7.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists over the last 10 games, with more than 18 DK points in five. He faces a favorable matchup against the Mavericks, who are shorthanded in the frontcourt.
Gary Harris, Magic ($3,800) vs. Grizzlies
Harris is up for a second consecutive start for the shorthanded Magic. He recorded 26.3 DK points in the last outing and has a chance to excel from long range, as the Grizzlies give up the fifth most three-pointers per game.
Bruce Brown, Nuggets ($4,900) vs. Clippers
Brown is averaging 11.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists through his last 10 outings, including four games where he topped 25 DK points. He also finished with 20.5 DK points in the previous meeting with the Clippers.
John Wall, Clippers ($4,400) at Nuggets
Wall has played in the last three games and should be rested and ready to go again, as the Clippers are coming off a two-day break. He is averaging 9.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists across his last 10 games and should shine against the Nuggets, who give up the league's second most points per game to point guards.
