FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 5, 2018

High Value C

Pau Gasol, SA vs MEM ($6,600): A lot of Gasol’s value rides on injuries. Memphis is first against centers in their last 15 games but could be without Marc Gasol once again. Gasol had 50 fantasy points against the Lakers on Saturday. However, LaMarcus Aldridge is currently listed as questionable. If Pau’s brother and Aldridge play, both of those players will impact Gasol’s value. Aldridge’s status hurts Pau’s value more. If he plays, Gasol is a slight right at this salary. If Marc plays, you can still expect Pau to be around value. ***

Myles Turner, IND vs MIL ($6,400): Turner had 35.1 fantasy points against the Wizards on Sunday. He wasn’t great against the Bucks last week, posting 25.8 fantasy points in that contest. He’s been inconsistent all season due to injuries, hitting value in a measly 37 percent of games. The reward is always high with Turner as he can put up points and rebounds with the best of them. If both teams are tired, it could lead to easier points and rebounds for Turner. I’m optimistic but proceed with caution. ***

Jusuf Nurkic, POR at LAL ($6,300): Nurkic has missed value in his last two and his minutes have dropped to below 20. The good news is that his salary has dropped as well. He needs28.5 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. He’s been hit-and-miss in two games against the Lakers this season. Both games were before the turn of the year, so it’s tough to put too much stock in those contests. Assuming he plays around 25 minutes, he should be over value. That said, he’s a risk just due to the concerns surrounding his minutes. **
