Elite Players
Guards
James Harden, Clippers ($9,200) at Raptors
Despite scoring just 14 points in the last game, Harden continues to thrive as a scorer and distributor, averaging 23.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 10.6 assists and 1.6 steals over the last five games, including a high of 61.5 FD points. He should prosper against the Raptors, who give up the league's seventh-most points and fifth-most three-pointers per game to opposing point guards.
Cade Cunningham, Pistons ($10,200) vs. Bulls
Cunningham topped 50 FD points in four of the last five outings and is averaging 28.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 0.9 steals over the last 10 games. He has a great chance to keep it rolling with a matchup against the Bulls, who give up the league's fifth-most points and second-most assists per game to opposing point guards.
Forwards/Centers
Jaylen Brown, Celtics ($8,300) at 76ers
Brown surpassed 40 FD points in three of the last four games and scored 28 points in each of the last three outings while shooting 52.5 percent from the field over that span. He is likely to keep the momentum going with a matchup against the 76ers, who give up the league's second-highest field-goal percentage to opposing small forwards.
Evan Mobley, Cavaliers ($8,300) vs. Mavericks
Mobley is coming off three straight double-doubles, averaging 16.3 points, 13.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks through those games. He faces a favorable matchup against a Mavericks squad that gives up the league's sixth-most points per game to opposing power forwards.
Kristaps Porzingis, Celtics ($8,100) at 76ers
Porzingis is averaging 21.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks over the last five games, including going over 50 FD points in each of the last two outings. He has a great opportunity to keep up the strong play with a matchup against the 76ers, who continue to deal with injury trouble in the frontcourt.
Expected Chalk
Jayson Tatum, Celtics ($8,300) at 76ers
Tatum turned in 47.2 FD points in the last game and is averaging 21.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.1 steals over 10 outings. He is up for a favorable matchup against the 76ers, who give up the league's second-highest field-goal percentage to opposing power forwards after he also finished with 59.0 FD points in their previous meeting.
Mid-Range Money
Jrue Holiday, Celtics ($5,100) at 76ers
Holiday is averaging 8.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.9 steals over the last 10 games, including five with over 20 FD points and a high of 32.6. He has a good opportunity to make an impact against the 76ers, who give up the league's second-highest field-goal percentage to opposing point guards.
Tobias Harris, Pistons ($6,400) vs. Bulls
After a four-game stretch of scoring in single digits, Harris is coming off back-to-back outings with more than 30 FD points. He should keep rolling with a highly favorable matchup against the Bulls, who give up the league's second-most points per game to opposing power forwards.
Value Picks
Tim Hardaway, Bulls ($4,100) at Pistons
Hardaway is averaging 12.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals with a high of 37.1 FD points over the last 10 games. He has a good chance to thrive against the Bulls, who give up the league's eighth-most points and seventh-most three-pointers per game to opposing shooting guards.
Derrick Jones, Clippers ($4,900) at Raptors
Jones is up for his 10th consecutive start and is averaging 12.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals over that span, including five games with over 20 FD points and a high of 50.9. He is likely to pad his stats against the Raptors, who give up the league's fourth-most turnovers per game and the third-most rebounds per game to opposing power forwards.
Isaiah Stewart, Pistons ($4,000) vs. Bulls
Stewart is set to return from a one-game suspension and averaged 4.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.6 blocks over his last 10 outings prior to the most recent one, where he was ejected after eight minutes of play. He has a favorable matchup against the Bulls, who give up the league's most points in the paint and third-most points per game to opposing centers.
