Elite Players

Guards

De'Aaron Fox, Kings ($8,100) vs. Pistons 

Fox has delivered varying results lately, finishing with under 35 DK points in two of the last five games, in contrast to a high of 63 DK points within that span. He is also averaging 25.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.4 steals across the last 10 outings. Fox faces an excellent opportunity to stand out against the struggling Pistons, who give up the league's second-most points per game to opposing point guards. 

Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers ($9,900) at Wizards 

Mitchell remains on a brilliant hot streak, averaging 28.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.7 steals over the last 10 games, including six with more than 55 DK points and a high of 72.5. He is up for another fantastic opportunity to fill it up against the Wizards, who give up the league's most points per game. Additionally, he topped 37 DK points in each of his last two encounters with the Wizards. 

Forwards/Centers

Jaylen Brown, Celtics ($8,000) vs. Hawks

Brown missed the last game but is ready to go on Wednesday. He faces an optimal chance to shine against the Hawks, who give up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing small forwards. Brown also finished with 36.3 DK points in his previous meeting with the Hawks this season. 

Tobias Harris, 76ers ($7,700) vs. Warriors 

Harris made his return from a one-game absence and totaled 39.5 DK points in the last game. He is averaging 23.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.7 steals over his last three appearances, including two with more than 45 DK points, and he must continue to step up in the absence of Joel Embiid. Harris should also do well against the Warriors, who give up the league's second-most rebounds and eighth-most free throws per game to opposing power forwards. 

Bam Adebayo, Heat ($8,000) vs. Spurs 

Adebayo is averaging 16.1 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks over the last 10 games, including a high of 58.3 DK points. He is up for an ideal opportunity to prosper against the Spurs, who give up the league's second-most points and fourth-most rebounds per game to opposing centers. 

Expected Chalk 

Jayson Tatum, Celtics ($9,600) vs. Hawks 

Tatum is averaging 26.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals over the last 10 games, including a high of 72.8. He is likely to thrive with a matchup against the Hawks, who give up the league's second-most points per game to opposing power forwards. Tatum also totaled 54.8 DK points in his previous meeting with the Hawks. 

Mid-Range Money 

Terry Rozier, Heat ($6,000) vs. Spurs

Rozier seems to be settling in with his new squad, going over 30 DK points in each of the last five games, while averaging 14.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.0 steals over that stretch. He should keep up the strong play against the Spurs, who give up a league-most in points per game to opposing shooting guards. 

Malik Monk, Kings ($5,400) vs. Pistons 

Monk surpassed 40 DK points in two of the last three games, while averaging 21.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists overt that stretch. He has another good opportunity to excel against the Pistons, who allow opponents to shoot an average of 38.1 percent from long range. 

Kelly Oubre, 76ers ($6,300) vs. Warriors 

Oubre is averaging 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.9 blocks across the last 10 games, including three games with more than 30 DK points and a high of 41.3. He must continue to pick up the slack for his shorthanded squad, and he has a good chance to pad his stats against the Warriors, who give up the league's fifth-most rebounds per game. 

Value Picks

Caleb Martin, Heat ($3,800) vs. Spurs

Martin (quadriceps) got the start in the last game, finishing with 20.8 DK points in 25 minutes of action, and he is listed as probable for action on Wednesday. Martin is averaging 9.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists over the last 10 games, including six with more than 20 DK points. He also has a great chance to boost his totals against the Spurs' lackluster defense. 

Kevin Love, Spurs ($4,000) vs. Spurs 

Love is averaging 7.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists over the last five games, including a high of 30.5. He should find room to make a notable impact against the Spurs, who give up the league's second-most rebounds per game. He is also up for additional playing time in the absence of Haywood Highsmith
