Elite Players
Guards
De'Aaron Fox, Kings 
($8,500) vs. Spurs
Fox has delivered seven straight games with more than 50 DK points, as he continues to stuff the stat sheet, averaging 26.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 2.4 steals over his last 10 appearances. He has a great chance to keep rolling against the Spurs, who give up the league's most points per game to opposing point guards. Fox also finished with 53.3 DK points in his previous encounter with the Spurs.
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves 
($8,800) at Pacers
Edwards is coming off a quieter performance, but he is averaging 27.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 steals over the last 10 games, including three with more than 50 DK points. Edwards must pick up an even greater load on offense in the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns, and he faces a great opportunity to shine against the Pacers, who give up the league's most points per game to shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
Jimmy Butler, Heat 
($8,300) at Mavericks
Butler is back on a roll, averaging 25.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 2.2 steals over his last five appearances, including three with more than 50 DK points. He is on the hook for another big-time effort in order to offset the absence of Tyler Herro, and he should stand out against the Mavs, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 48.4 percent from the field.
Kevin Durant, Suns 
($9,700) vs Raptors
Durant amassed 57 DK points in the last game and is averaging 25.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.5 blocks over the last 10 games. He has done a great job of leading the way for the Suns through the season, so far, and he must bring another major effort in order to help pick up the slack in the absence of Devin Booker.
Bam Adebayo, Heat ($8,400) at Mavericks
Adebayo is averaging 20.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks across the last 10 games, including three with more than 50 DK points. He enters a favorable matchup against the Mavericks, who give up the league's sixth-most points and seventh-most rebounds per game to opposing centers. He will also have to make an effort to pick up the slack offensively, as the Heat remain without scoring threat, Tyler Herro.
Expected Chalk
Domantas Sabonis, Kings ($10,600) vs. Spurs
Sabonis extended his impressive streak to 44 consecutive double-doubles, as he delivered a triple-double with 16 points, 20 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in the last game. He is likely to keep up the dominance against the Spurs, who give up the league's most points and fourth-most rebounds per game to opposing centers. He also faces an easier matchup in the absence of Victor Wembanyama.
Mid-Range Money
Bradley Beal, Suns ($6,900) vs. Raptors
Beal is finding his groove again, averaging 18.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists over three games since returning from a five-game absence. He must step up for his squad, as they will be without Devin Booker, and he has a good chance to thrive against the Raptors, who give up the league's sixth-most three-pointers per game.
Naz Reid, Timberwolves ($5,400) at Pacers
Reid is up for a significantly greater role in the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns. Reid is averaging 14.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks over the last five games, including three with more than 30 DK points. He faces an ideal opportunity to prosper against the Pacers' lackluster defense, as they give up the league's most points in the paint.
Value Picks
Eric Gordon, Suns ($4,400) vs. Raptors
Gordon looks ahead to his third game back from a three-game absence, and he must step into a bigger role as a result of Devin Booker's absence. Gordon is averaging 11.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals over his last 10 outings, and he should do well against the Raptors, who give up the league's fifth-highest shooting percentage to opposing shooting guards.
Jaime Jaquez, Heat ($4,700) at Mavericks
Jaquez topped 20 DK points in three of the last five games, including a high of 42.8 DK points in one outing where he picked up a start. He is up for another extended opportunity in light of injuries within the Heat lineup, and he should find room to pad his stats against the Mavericks, who give up the league's fourth-most offensive rebounds per game.
Isaiah Stewart, Pistons 
($4,900) vs. Nets
Since returning from a nearly month-long absence, Stewart is playing well, averaging 12.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks over the last three games. He faces an ideal opportunity to excel against the Nets, who continue to deal with injury trouble, and who give up the league's eighth-most free throws per game to opposing power forwards.
