Highly Touted
- Anthony Davis (11x) – High price tag and playing in the second game of a back-to-back but has been crushing it averaging 37 points and 13 boards per game
- James Harden (9x) – High price tag and playing in the second game of a back-to-back but has been crushing it averaging over 32 points, 7 boards and 11 assists per game
- Tim Frazier (8x) – His price is slowly creeping upwards but still a decent value coming off game with 20 points and 9 assists last night
- Jimmy Butler (8x) – Consistent player with a high floor every night, scored 24 points in opener against the Celtics
- Kyle Lowry (7x) – Had season-high 29 points last night and will have marquee matchup against John Wall tonight
- Carmelo Anthony (7x) – Knicks leading scorer in an up-tempo game with one of the highest Vegas totals against the Rockets
- Marc Gasol (7x) – Well rested after sitting out first game of back-to-back last night and gets a favorable matchup against Pelicans
- Andre Drummond (7x) – Averaging over 18 rebounds in his last 3 games and should pile up the boards tonight in favorable matchup against the Nets who are shooting just 41.5% this season

Recommended
- Dario Saric (6x) – Playing almost 30 minutes per game coming off a 21-point effort at a cheap price

- Sergio Rodriguez (6x) – Cheap option at PG who has been seeing 30+ minutes a game and is coming off a double-double last night
