High Value C

Jusuf Nurkic, POR vs WAS ($6,000): The Warriors are third against the position in their last 15 games, but are on a back-to-back. Furthermore, Nurkic had 40.1 fantasy points against them on Feb. 14. He’s been inconsistent as of late, but this is a matchup he’s had success against and his bruising style can be an issue for the small ball lineups of the Warriors. If they have weary legs, Nurkic can beat on them. He should be around value. ***

Brook Lopez, LAL at DEN ($5,900): Lopez has been over value in his last three and over 30 fantasy points in his last two. Best yet, he played 35 minutes against the Magic on Wednesday. Production has never been a big issue for Lopez as he’s averaging 1.03 FPPM. He just hasn’t seen a whole lot of playing time this season. He’s averaging 31.6 fantasy points in 23 minutes in two games against the Nuggets this season. Assuming he plays enough, he’ll be over value without much trouble. ***

Dewayne Dedmon, ATL at IND ($5,800): Dedmon had 38 fantasy points against the Raptors on Tuesday. The last time he saw the Pacers, which was just over a week ago, he had 40.3 fantasy points. However, he produced just 5.4 fantasy points in 12 minutes in a Feb. 23 meeting against Indiana. He should continue to get at least 25 minutes and contribute with scoring, rebounding, and a defensive play or three. He needs 25.7 fantasy points to hit value. Proceed with caution. ***
