Elite Players
Guards
Trae Young, Hawks ($9,600) vs. Pistons
Young surpassed 50 DK points in five of the last 10 outings, including a high of 60.3, while averaging 25.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He has an excellent chance to prosper against the Pistons, who give up the league's third-most free throws per game and the seventh-most points per game to point guards. Young also recorded 54.5 DK points in his last encounter with the Pistons.
Paul George, Clippers ($9,300) vs. Thunder
George topped 35 DK points in eight of 10 outings, while averaging 25.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He should continue to flourish against the Thunder, who give up the league's fourth-most three-pointers and second-most free throws per game.
Forwards/Centers
Brandon Ingram, Pelicans ($8,600) vs. Spurs
Ingram exceeded 40 DK points in three straight games and is averaging 23.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.0 assists on the season. He has a great chance to shine against the Spurs, who give up the league's most points per game and allow opponents to shoot an average of 39.2 percent from long range. Ingram finished with 17 points, three rebounds and 10 assists in his last meeting with the Spurs.
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers ($9,500) vs. Thunder
Leonard continues to stuff the stat sheet, averaging 30.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.8 steals, with a high of 56 DK points in his last five outings. He has a good opportunity to fill it up against the Thunder, who are relatively undersized in the front court.
Jonas Valanciunas, Pelicans ($6,600) vs. Spurs
Valanciunas is coming off back-to-back 20-point double-doubles, amounting to a high of 52.8 DK points. He is averaging 14.2 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists on the season, and he logged 32.5 DK points in the last meeting with the Spurs.
Expected Chalk
Jayson Tatum, Celtics ($10,500) at Kings
Tatum is coming off a quieter outing, but he topped 60 DK points in two of the last five, while averaging 25.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He faces what should be a competitive matchup against the Kings and will have to step up to lead his side. The Kings give up the league's third-most points per game and also allow opponents to shoot an average of 37.3 percent from long range.
Value Picks
Terance Mann, Clippers ($3,700) vs. Thunder
Mann is averaging 7.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 22 minutes per game over the last 10. He topped 25 DK points twice in that span and has a good chance to thrive against the Thunder, who give up the league's fourth-most points to opposing bench players.
Bogdan Bogdanovic, Hawks ($4,900) vs. Pistons
Bogdanovic tallied a high of 36.5 DK points while averaging 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists over his last five outings. He is likely to prosper against the Pistons, who give up the league's second-most points per game and allow opponents to shoot an average of 49.1 percent from the field. He could also be up for extra playing time if Dejounte Murray (questionable) is sidelined.
Eric Gordon, Clippers ($4,700) vs. Thunder
Gordon poured in 20 points in the previous game and is averaging 12.4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists over the last five. He should continue to deliver a boost off the bench and is also up for added playing time while Norman Powell remains out.
Royce O'Neale, Nets ($4,600) vs. Cavaliers
O'Neale delivers a solid effort across the board, averaging 8.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.4 steals over five games, including a high of 41.8 DK points. He faces a tough matchup against the Cavaliers' frontcourt but should find room to excel from the perimeter - where he averages 5.4 attempts per game - as they allow opposing power forwards to shoot a league-high 42.3 percent from deep.
Mason Plumlee, Clippers ($4,300) vs. Thunder
Plumlee notched a high of 27 DK points, while averaging 6.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists across the last five outings. He has a good chance to stand out against the Thunder, who give up the league's most offensive rebounds per game.
