Elite NBA DFS Players
Guards
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
($10,500) at Knicks
Gilgeous-Alexander got the night off during Tuesday's win over Chicago, but he will return to action Wednesday and should see a full workload. The reigning MVP has appeared in two outings following a nine-game absence due to an abdominal strain, generating 60.8 and 49.5 DK points while averaging 33.0 points, 7.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across 33.5 minutes per contest during that span.
Tyrese Maxey, 76ers
($10,300) vs. Jazz
Maxey enters a favorable matchup against a lackluster Jazz defense and should also see increased shot attempts with several of Philadelphia's key contributors unavailable. The star point guard has recorded at least 38.0 DK points in 11 straight outings, averaging 29.5 points, 6.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 steals across 35.5 minutes per game over that stretch.
Forwards/Centers
Brandon Miller, Hornets
($7,800) at Celtics
Miller has been playing at a high level of late, notching 34.8 to 50.8 DK points in each of his last five outings. The third-year wing has knocked down at least five triples while shooting 54.5 percent from three-point range over that stretch, during which he has averaged 24.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.6 combined steals-plus-blocks across 26.2 minutes per tilt.
Donovan Clingan, Trail Blazers
($7,400) at Grizzlies
Clingan has logged at least 42.3 DK points in three of his last four outings, during which he has averaged 14.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3.3 combined steals-plus-blocks in 31.0 minutes per showing. The second-year center closed with 34.8 and 55.8 DK points in his two outings against Memphis in early February.
Kyle Filipowski, Jazz
($7,200) at 76ers
With Jusuf Nurkic (nose) on the shelf, Filipowski has started six consecutive contests and been mostly productive. The second-year pro has tallied at least 34.8 DK points in four of those six outings, averaging 15.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 3.2 combined steals-plus-blocks while shooting 54.4 percent from the field in 26.3 minutes per contest during that period.
Expected NBA DFS Chalk
Jaylen Brown, Celtics
($9,800) vs. Hornets
Brown has been productive since the All-Star break, racking up 47.3 to 64.8 DK points in each of his five appearances. During that span, the star wing has averaged 26.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks across 35.0 minutes per game.
Mid-Range NBA DFS Picks
GG Jackson, Grizzlies
($6,400) vs. Trail Blazers
Jackson has been a regular in Memphis' starting lineup of late and has registered 27.5-plus DK points in seven of his last eight games (seven starts). During that stretch, the 21-year-old forward has averaged 18.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks over 25.1 minutes per tilt.
Isaiah Hartenstein, Thunder
($6,100) at Knicks
Hartenstein sat out Tuesday's win over Chicago but has been cleared to play against one of his former teams in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The big man has finished with 25.3 or more DK points in five straight appearances, swatting two shots in four of them. During that five-game stretch, he has averaged 10.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.6 combined steals-plus-blocks across 25.2 minutes per game.
NBA DFS Value Picks
Isaiah Joe, Thunder
($4,900) at Knicks
Joe has been a reliable contributor for the Thunder of late, chipping in 21.8 to 40.5 DK points in 10 of his last 11 outings. Over that span, the 26-year-old wing has averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 25.1 minutes per game.
Jaylen Wells, Grizzlies
($4,900) vs. Trail Blazers
Wells has dropped 23.8-plus DK points in three straight games, averaging 16.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 23.0 minutes per tilt during that span. Over two appearances against Portland this season, the second-year forward has totaled 31.8 and 25.3 DK points.
Walter Clayton, Grizzlies
($4,800) vs. Trail Blazers
Clayton has posted at least 21.3 DK points in five of his six outings (two starts) following the All-Star break. With the Grizzlies expected to be shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, he's in line to see an uptick in playing time Wednesday. Since the break, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 8.2 points, 7.2 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 25.3 minutes per showing.
