High Value C

Robin Lopez-Chicago Bulls (5,100): Lopez gets another shot at his former team as the Bulls play Portland for the final time this season. In his last game against them, RoLo had 13-11-1 for 29.7 fantasy points. He has cooled off a little bit lately, but he has still scored at least ten points in 11 straight games and adds in rebounds and blocks. He had a massive 38.3 fantasy points when he had a season-high eight blocks against the Lakers last Wednesday, and he’ll look to dominate down low again tonight in Chicago. ∗∗∗

John Henson-Milwaukee Bucks (4,700): Henson has been in and out of my FanDuel daily picks often over the last few seasons since he tends to put together a few nice runs when he gets expanded playing time. This time, though, it looks like he could be here to stay as the Bucks have given him the starting job at center.  He has posted at least 24 fantasy points in each of his last four games with over 31 in three of those contests and over 36 in two of them. He had 36.4 fantasy points on Saturday against the Nets when he had 20-7-2 with a pair of blocks. He’s in a tough matchup tonight against San Antonio, but at under 5K he has a ton of potential to out-perform his pricing. ∗∗∗∗

Joffrey Lauvergne-Oklahoma City Thunder (3,500): Lauvergne had a season-high 11 boards yesterday against the Pelicans after starting the second half for an injured Steven Adams. He finished with 17.2 fantasy points and could be lined up for a spot start tonight against the Hawks if Adams is unable to play. Lauvergne had over 19 fantasy points in four of five games towards the end of November, and he will be a nice bargain start if he gets the starting spot tonight. If starting-∗∗∗ Off the bench-∗
