High Value C

Pau Gasol-San Antonio Spurs (6,500): Gasol has been solid for the Spurs and has at least 31 fantasy points in five of his last seven. He missed the game last week against Portland for rest, but posted 16-10-1 against Phoenix for 33.5 fantasy points on Wednesday. He should be able to take advantage of Mason Plumlee’s defensive struggles and put together a good stat line again tonight.

Joakim Noah-New York Knicks (4,700): Noah’s impact as a hustle and defensive specialist doesn’t translate that well to fantasy basketball which relies heavily on quantifiable numbers. He has been a solid fantasy option lately, though, with 30.2 fantasy points on 11-11-2 against the Pacers, 8-12-2 against the Celtics for 25.4 fantasy points, and a very impressive 14-16-3 with two steals and a block for 42.7 fantasy points against Atlanta on Wednesday. While 40+ fantasy points is an unreasonable expectation from Noah, he should be able to continue to get around 25 fantasy points making him a solid sub-5K play.

Montrezl Harrell-Houston Rockets (4,100): Harrell has been filling in well for the injured Clint Capela. He had over 21 fantasy points for three straight games after joining the lineup but only managed 7-2-1 for 12.9 fantasy points on Tuesday. He should be back to 20+ fantasy points tonight against the Clippers as he tries to slow down DeAndre Jordan and the Clippers tonight.
