Here are my picks for the 10/21/22 NBA Slate.
Guards

I love Booker as a high value guy in this matchup versus the Blazers (21st OPRK). Look for him to continue to build off his opening night performance where he put up 28/4/9 in their overtime win over the Mavericks.
Ayo Dosunmu (CHI) @ WAS ($5500 DK, $5000 FD)
Dosunmu is in a perfect position to thrive in his role as the starting PG without Ball. He has a juicy matchup versus the Wizards who rank 18th vs opposing guards, but we all know they are not even that good.
Ja Morant (MEM) @ HOU ($10100 DK, $9400 FD)
Look for Morant to continue the stellar start to the season in a matchup vs the Rockets who rank near the bottom at 28th versus opposing guards. Seems like the perfect game for Morant to put someone on a poster.
Josh Primo (SA) @ IND ($4200 DK, $4200 FD)
A matchup versus the middle of the pact Pacers (15th OPRK) is up for Primo. Look for him to get solid run in this game for the rebuilding Spurs.
Forwards
Julius Randle (NYK) vs. DET ($8400 DK, $8000 FD)

Despite facing the 4th ranked team vs Forwards in the Pistons, expect Randle to smash in this matchup off the momentum of his opening matchup performance. He led the team in points and rebounds, and only trailed Brunson in assists.
Cam Johnson (PHO) @ POR ($5000 DK, $4300 FD)
Johnson is a perfect example of a guy that is relatively cheap that sees a good number of minutes and usage. Look for that to carry into this game.

These are the type of games where I want Jimmy. Butler has at least 20 points in all but one game vs the Celtics in his Miami tenure.
Isaiah Stewart (DET) @ NYK ($5400 DK, $5000 FD)
Up for Stewart is a matchup versus the Knicks, who are near the bottom at defending opposing forwards/centers. Look for Stewart to get the Knicks big men in foul trouble and rack up some solid stats along the way.
Centers
Rudy Gobert (MIN) vs. UTA ($9000 DK, $8600 FD)
Something about players going up against former teams gets me so intrigued. Look for Gobert to dominate the paint this matchup versus his former squad.
Nick Richards (CHA) vs. NOP ($4100 DK, $4200 FD)
Richards is the ideal center when you get to the end of your lineup. Solid center with minutes expected in the low 20s against the Pelicans who are not very good at defending opposing centers.
