Elite NBA DFS Players
Guards
Cade Cunningham, Pistons 
($10,200) at Raptors
Cunningham contributed 56.3 DK points his last time out in a win over the Hornets on Monday and has provided 46.3 or more in eight of his last nine appearances. During that span, the fifth-year point guard has averaged 25.2 points, 9.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 combined steals-plus-blocks in 32.9 minutes per game.
Isaiah Collier, Jazz 
($7,800) vs. Kings
With Keyonte George (ankle) unavailable, Collier is in line to get the starting nod for the fifth time this month. The 21-year-old point guard has tallied 32.8-plus DK points in all five of his February appearances thus far and has a favorable matchup against a banged-up Kings squad. He has averaged the most minutes per game (38.4) among Jazz players in February, during which he has averaged 18.8 points, 11.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.4 steals per tilt.
Forwards/Centers
Nikola Jokic, Nuggets ($12,200) vs. Grizzlies
Jokic has appeared in each of Denver's last six outings and is listed as probable to suit up in the Nuggets' final game before the All-Star break. The three-time MVP has notched at least 55.3 DK points in five of those six outings, and he'll have a prime opportunity to stuff the stat sheet against a depleted Memphis frontcourt. Additionally, the superstar logged 62.0 DK points and a triple-double in a win over the Grizzlies on Nov. 24.
Kawhi Leonard, Clippers 
($10,000) at Rockets
Leonard is fresh off dropping 41.0 DK points in a loss to Houston on Tuesday and will look to remain productive in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The star forward has recorded 40.8-plus DK points in six consecutive contests, averaging 29.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals in 31.5 minutes per contest over that stretch.
Chet Holmgren, Thunder 
($8,800) at Suns
Holmgren has finished with 36.0 DK points in back-to-back outings and has yet to post fewer than 35.5 through three outings against Phoenix so far this season. The star big man has averaged 21.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 assists in 30.0 minutes per game versus the Suns in the 2025-26 campaign.
Expected NBA DFS Chalk
Donovan Mitchell, Cavaliers 
($9,500) vs. Wizards
Mitchell enters an extremely favorable matchup versus the Wizards, against whom he has averaged 36.0 points, 6.0 three-pointers, 4.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.0 steals in 30.5 minutes per contest across two meetings so far this season. The star guard has posted at least 51.0 DK points in three straight games and has reached that mark in six of his last nine outings.
Mid-Range NBA DFS Picks
Matas Buzelis, Bulls 
($6,600) at Celtics
Buzelis has dropped 35.3 and 34.5 DK points in two meetings against the Celtics this season, and the Bulls will need him to step up with the team expected to be shorthanded. The second-year forward has finished with 32.5 or more DK points in four straight games, averaging 19.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 three-pointers, 2.5 blocks and 2.0 assists in 31.3 minutes per contest during that period.
Cason Wallace, Thunder ($5,900) at Suns
Oklahoma City will remain without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Ajay Mitchell due to abdominal strains, so Wallace should get the starting nod for a sixth straight game. The 22-year-old guard has generated 31.3-plus DK points in four of his last five outings, averaging 16.0 points, 4.0 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 30.4 minutes per game over that stretch.
NBA DFS Value Picks
Day'Ron Sharpe, Nets 
($5,200) vs. Indiana
Nic Claxton (hip) isn't expected to play Wednesday, so Sharpe is in line to get the starting nod against a depleted Indiana squad that is on the second night of a back-to-back set. As a starter this season (three games), the 24-year-old center has averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.3 combined steals-plus-blocks across 30.7 minutes per tilt. He posted 37.3, 22.8 and 38.0 DK points in those three starts.
Devin Carter, Kings 
($4,500) at Jazz
Carter has produced 22.3 or more DK points in four consecutive contests and may enter the starting lineup for the first time in his NBA career due to several key contributors being sidelined. Over that four-game span, the second-year guard has averaged 13.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.8 minutes per game.
Kasparas Jakucionis, Heat 
($3,900) at Pelicans
With Norman Powell (back), Tyler Herro (ribs) and Pelle Larsson (elbow) sidelined, Jakucionis is a solid cost-effective option Wednesday. The rookie first-rounder will likely continue to see increased burn after posting 20-plus points and at least 27.3 DK points in each of Miami's last two games.
