NBA DFS players entering tournaments, cash games, or 50-50s on FanDuel or DraftKings for Sunday's main slate have plenty of tough choices to make. Investing in Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo or Anthony Davis is a great way to guarantee production, but all three come with a hefty price tag on both sites. They'll eat up a large portion of your NBA DFS salary cap right off the bat, so making the right call on the value of players such as them will be critical when evaluating Sunday's NBA DFS slate.
Meanwhile, Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will be among popular NBA DFS stacks as the Celtics take on the Charlotte Hornets at home, a team that's giving up 110.6 points per game.

George has been virtually unstoppable in recent outings, averaging 28.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists across his last five games.
