($8,000) vs. Spurs
Brunson is averaging 22.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.4 steals over the last five games and should keep up the strong play against the Spurs, who give up the league's fourth-most three-pointers per game to opposing point guards.
Kyrie Irving, Mavericks 
($7,900) vs. Timberwolves
Irving is averaging 20.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists over his last five appearances, including a high of 50.0 DK points. He has a good opportunity to get his offense rolling agianst the Timberwolves, who give up the league's eighth-highest three-point shooting percentage to opposing shooting guards.
Forwards/Centers
Jaylen Brown, Celtics 
($7,800) vs. 76ers
Brown is averaging 19.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.8 steals through the last five games, including a 56.3 DK-point performance in the most recent outing. He has a good chance to thrive against the 76ers, who give up the league's seventh-highest shooting percentage to opposing small forwards.
Kevin Durant, Suns 
($9,000) vs. Nuggets
Durant is averaging 30.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals through the last five games, including two with more than 60 DK points. He should do well against the Nuggets, who are giving up the league's eighth-highest shooting percentage and seventh-most rebounds per game to opposing power forwards.
Karl-Anthony Towns, Knicks ($10,1000) vs. Spurs
Towns is averaging 23.0 points, 16.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks over the last five games, including four with more than 50 DK points and a high of 72.0. He should thrive against the Spurs, who are giving up the league's third-most points per game to opposing centers.

($11,600) at Suns

Mid-Range Money
Chris Paul, Spurs 
($5,800) at Knicks
Paul is averaging 7.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.6 steals over the last five games, including a high of 42.3 DK points. He faces a tough matchup against the Knicks, but he should still be able to use his veteran savvy to continue to rack up the assists, especially as the Knicks give up the league's seventh-most assists to opposing point guards.
Dennis Schroder, Warriors 
($5,500) vs. Lakers
Schroder is averaging 7.7 points, 1.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists through three games since joining the Warriors. However, he faces a good opportunity to step up the production against the Lakers, who give up the league's seventh-highest field-goal percentage.
OG Anunoby, Knicks ($5,800) vs. Spurs
Anunoby accumulated 49.8 DK points in his most recent outing and is averaging 15.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals across the last five games. He also is likely to continue to pad his stats on the defensive end, as the Spurs give up the league's third-most steals per game to opposing power forwards.
Value Picks
Max Christie, Lakers 
($3,800) at Warriors
Christie is up for a seventh consecutive start, after averaging 9.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals over the last six outings. He should find room to pad his stats at the foul line against the Warriors, who give up an average of 4.1 free throws per game to opposing shooting guards.
Trayce Jackson-Davis, Warriors ($4,100) vs. Lakers
Jackson-Davis is up for a third straight start, after he topped 25 DK points in each of the last two games. He faces a tough matchup against the Lakers' frontcourt, but should help his totals on the glass, as they give up the league's fifth-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
