The first Monday slate of 2022 has arrived and will feature 10 games. Tip-off times will kick off with a pair of games at 7 p.m. ET, while the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Clippers will wrap things up at 10:30 p.m. ET. There's plenty of value to be had among higher-priced players ahead of the action.

Ameer Tyree got his start in NBA DFS over four years ago. The former DraftKings Nation betting and fantasy writer spent over a year and a half breaking down basketball slates to build optimal lineups there. He's targeting a couple of two-man, stud pairings that could light it up on FanDuel and five DFS players plenty of bang for their buck.

One pair Ameer loves: Trae Young and Clint Capela. "The Atlanta Hawks are shorthanded but will face a Portland Trail Blazers team with no Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, or Jusuf Nurkic. Trae Young ranks third in total assists this year with 300 and will face the team with the league's worst defensive rating." Ameer says about the matchup.
