FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy basketball lineup – March 12, 2018
High Value C
Pau Gasol, SA at HOU ($6,000): No LaMarcus Aldridge means more off the offense will run through Gasol. Against any other team, that would do wonders for Gasol’s value. But there is real concern about him staying on the floor against the Rockets. He’s averaging 17.6 fantasy points in 19 minutes in two games against Huston this season. The opportunities will be there for him while he is on the floor, but he may not see enough playing time to make a real impact. **
Kosta Koufos, SAC at OKC ($4,500): Koufos has been over value in six straight, including a 29 fantasy point effort against the Nuggets on Sunday. The Kings like to rest Zach Randolph in back-to-back situations. If that’s the case again on Monday, Koufos would be the biggest beneficiary. If Steven Adams is out and the Thunder are thin on frontcourt help, that would also do wonders for his value. Expect him around 20 fantasy points in this one. ***
Tyler Zeller, MIL at MEM ($3,700): Zeller has been over 20 fantasy points in his last two contests. He needs 16 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. His playing time has been all over the place since he joined the Bucks, so there is no guarantee of his minutes on Monday. The Grizzlies are first against centers in their last 15 games. It’s not a good matchup and with his inconsistent minutes, it’s tough to trust him. But there isn’t a whole lot to like when it comes to value centers on Monday. *
