The basic unit is grams.

So:

kilograms

hectograms

decagrams

grams

decigrams

centigrams

milligrams

Comment

The 'base', not 'basic', unit for mass in the SI system is the kilogram, not the gram. Further, the prefixes 'hecto', 'deca', and 'deci' are not used in SI.

The standard unit of mass in the metric system is the gram.

Other units of mass and their equivalents in grams are as follows:

1 milligram = 0.001 gram

1 centigram = 0.01 gram

1 decigram = 0.1 gram

1 kilogram = 1000 grams

We symbolize these masses as follows:

1 milligram = 1 mg

1 centigram = 1 cg

1 decigram = 1 dg

1 gram = 1 g

1 kilogram = 1 kg

For reference, 1 gram is about the mass of a paper clip.

One kilogram is about the mass of a liter of water.

Comment

The SI base unit for mass is the kilogram, not the gram. And we do not italicise the symbols.
