Happy Sunday. The NBA is prepared for their second consecutive seven-game NBA DFS slate, which means the daily fantasy player pool is once again filled with an array of talent.

The day begins with an early matchup at 1 PM ET between Domantas Sabonis, who is averaging 21.7 points and 12.5 rebounds per game, from the Indiana Pacers against Fred VanVleet, of the Toronto Raptors.

After another five matches, which involves Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder taking on Paul George and the LA Clippers, the night will close out with Julius Randle and the New York Knicks going up against Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers at 10 PM ET.

Would Sabonis, Lillard, or Randle be wise selections in your Sunday NBA DFS lineup? Or are you looking to build a strong all-around roster of players with low price/high value?

Kemba Walker #8 of the Boston Celtics

Kemba Walker is a great NBA DFS value pick at his currently listing price of under 7K. The four-time All-Star has only played in three games this season for the Boston Celtics due to recently returning from his knee injury, but is feeling back to 100% for the first time since early last season.

In the 30-year-old's three games this season, he has put together a total of 47 points and 15 assists.

Look for Kemba to up his minute count tonight and put up a season-high in points as he continues to regain his role in the offense.

Terry Rozier's athletic ability, combined with his shooting ability, has turned him into one of the league's most dynamic guards.

The sixth-year guard's attributes have allowed him to find his own shot. He currently holds a self-created expected field goal rating of 52.9%, via The Athletic.

Look for Rozier to have a big game against the Orlando Magic and continue his best season as a professional. He is reaching career-bests in both usage and efficiency.

Chris Boucher remains one of the biggest surprises of the season. Boucher is producing 14.8 points and 6.5 rebounds while averaging just 23.5 minutes a game.
