Elite Players

Guards

Tyrese Maxey, 76ers ($10,300) vs. Celtics 

Maxey continues to show an incredible ability to lead the way for his squad, topping the 30-point mark in each of the last two games and averaging 31.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks over the last five. Additionally, he racked up 66.0 DK points in an earlier encounter with the Celtics this season and has a good chance to pad his stats once again, as the Celtics are giving up the league's fourth-most free throws per game.

Jimmy Butler, Warriors ($8,400) at Thunder 

Butler produced 48.3 DK points with 21 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block in the last game, which was a great sign in terms of signifying him getting up to speed in his second game back after a one-game absence. He faces a tough matchup against the Thunder, but he may find room to get his shot going from long range, as they are giving up the league's sixth-highest three-point shooting percentage. 

Forwards/Centers

Jaylen Brown, Celtics ($8,500) at 76ers 

Brown has topped 25 points in each of the last four games, averaging 32.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals over that span, including a high of 51.3 DK points. He also amassed 48.3 DK points in his previous encounter with the 76ers and should do well once again, as they are giving up the league's ninth-highest field-goal percentage.

Scottie Barnes, Raptors ($8,400) at Nets 

Barnes has topped 38 DK points in six straight games, including a high of 60.0, while averaging 19.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.2 blocks over that span. He is up for a great opportunity to pad his stats against the Nets, who are giving up the league's most rebounds per game to opposing power forwards, and the league's most points in the paint. 

Pascal Siakam, Pacers ($9,800) at Jazz

Siakam (rest) sat out the last game, which marked the second half of a back-to-back, but he is expected to be ready for action against the Jazz. He is averaging 24.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.3 steals on the season and should keep it up, as the Jazz are giving up the league's sixth-most points per game, and the fourth-most steals per game to opposing power forwards. 

Expected Chalk 

Jalen Brunson, Knicks ($8,900) vs. Grizzlies 

Brunson has surpassed 40 DK points in six of his nine appearances this season and is averaging 23.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 0.8 steals over the last five games, including a high of 49.8 DK points in the game before last. He is likely to thrive against the Grizzlies, who are giving up the league's second-most points and highest field-goal percentage to opposing point guards. 

Mid-Range Money 

Isaiah Collier, Jazz ($5,300) vs. Pacers 

Collier has looked solid in two games since a delayed start to his season. He is averaging 7.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists over the two outings, having gotten the start in his debut and coming off the bench in the last game. He faces an ideal chance to keep building momentum with a matchup against the Pacers, who are giving up the league's ninth-most points per game, including the most points per game to opposing point guards. 

Aaron Nesmith, Pacers ($6,300) at Jazz 

Nesmith (forearm) missed the last game but is good to go for Tuesday's action. He averaged 20.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.4 steals over his last five appearances, including a high of 42.0 DK points. Additionally, he should shine against the Jazz, who are giving up the league's most points per game to opposing shooting guards. 

Value Picks

Anfernee Simons, Celtics ($4,500) at 76ers

Simons has had a fairly underwhelming start to the season but is coming off his second game with a season-high 25 points, marking just the second time he topped 20 in his 11 outings. He is up for a good opportunity to deliver another strong impact with a meeting against the 76ers, after he racked up 30.0 DK points in their previous meeting. 

Josh Minott, Celtics ($4,400) at 76ers 

Minott has been up-and-down lately, topping 25 DK points in three of the last five games but finishing with a total of two points scored between the other two of those five outings. Nonetheless, he is set for another start and may find room to pad his stats against the 76ers, who are giving up the league's 11th-most rebounds and second-most blocks per game to opposing power forwards. 

Neemias Queta, Celtics ($4,800) at 76ers 

Queta is averaging 9.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks over the last five games, including a high of 43.0 DK points in an outing where he racked up 15 points and 12 rebounds. He should find an advantageous matchup against the 76ers' shorthanded frontcourt, especially as the squad is giving up the league's fourth-most points per game to opposing centers.
