Elite Players
Guards
Dejounte Murray, Hawks ($9,700) vs. Hornets
Murray is coming off a big-time performance, with 63.8 DK points on 29 points, nine rebounds, 10 assists and four steals, in loss to the Suns. He is averaging 25.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 2.1 steals over the last 10 games, as he has been doing a great job of stepping up in the absence of Trae Young. Murray faces a favorable matchup against the Hornets, who give up the league's fifth-highest field-goal percentage per game.
Jalen Green, Rockets ($8,500) vs. Jazz
Green topped 50 DK points in three of the last four games and is averaging 26.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals over the last 10 outings. He faces a great opportunity to continue to prosper against the Jazz, who give up the league's most three-pointers per game.
Forwards/Centers
Miles Bridges, Hornets ($8,200) at Hawks
Bridges is averaging 20.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 0.8 steals across the last 10 games, including five with more than 40 DK points and a high of 57. He is up for an ideal chance to prosper against the Hawks, who remain shorthanded, and who give up the league's second-most points per game.
Paolo Banchero, Magic ($8,800) vs. Kings
Banchero delivered a triple-double with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, totaling 54.5 DK points in the last game, and he is averaging 21.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists over the last 10 outings. He is likely to stand out against the Kings, who give up the league's seventh-most points and fifth-highest field-goal percentage per game to opposing power forwards.
Kyle Kuzma, Wizards ($8,400) vs. Raptors
Kuzma returned from a two-game absence to deliver 49 DK points in the last outing. Despite an unimpressive season from his squad, he continues to lead the way with impressive numbers, averaging 24.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks through his last 10 appearances. He faces an excellent opportunity to make his mark against the Raptors, who remain severely shorthanded, and who face the second game of a back-to-back.
Expected Chalk
Devin Booker, Suns ($8,900) at Spurs
Booker topped 40 DK points in each of the last four games, including two with more than 50, while averaging 23.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.0 steals over that span. He faces a favorable matchup against the Spurs, who concede the league's most points per game to opposing point guards, and who also face the second game of a back-to-back. Booker is averaging 31.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 13.0 assists over two meetins with the Spurs this season.
Mid-Range Money
De'Andre Hunter, Hawks ($6,000) vs. Hornets
Hunter is up for a second consecutive start for his shorthanded squad, after he totaled 33.5 DK points in 34 minutes of action in the last game. He is likely to do well against the Hornets, who give up the league's seventh-most points per game to opposing power forwards.
Clint Capela, Hawks LOGO] ($6,400) vs. Hornets
Capela is averaging 12.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 blocks over the last 10 games, including seven with more than 30 DK points and a high of 42.8. He is up for an advantageous matchup against the Hornets, who give up the league's third-most points and second-most rebounds per game to opposing centers.
Value Picks
Cole Anthony, Magic ($4,300) vs. Kings
Anthony is averaging 10.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists over the last 10 games, including four with more than 20 DK points and a high of 37.5. He could be up for extra playing time if Gary Harris is sidelined, and he faces a good opportunity to prosper against the Kings, who give up the league's second-highest three-point percentage.
Kris Dunn, Jazz ($4,700) at Rockets
Dunn is looking at a fifth consecutive start after averaging 5.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals across the last four outings. He faces a tough matchup against the Rockets' backcourt, but he has a good chance to pad his stats at the foul line, as they give up the league's third-most free throws per game.
Royce O'Neale, Suns ($4,400) at Spurs
O'Neale continues to deliver a well-rounded effort off the bench, averaging 9.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists over the last five games, including a high of 28.8 DK points. He should find room to fill the stat sheet against the Spurs, who give up the league's sixth-most points and fourth-most rebounds per game.
