High Value C
Pau Gasol, SA vs ORL ($6,500): Gasol struggled against the Rockets, but that was to be expected given his defensive limitations and Houston’s offense. With LaMarcus Aldridge likely sitting out again, Gasol will see the bulk of the opportunities in the frontcourt. He’ll have an easier time on Tuesday than he did on Monday, but with the way the Spurs are playing and this salary, he’s a risk with a high reward. **
Jakob Poeltl, TOR at BKN ($4,700): Poeltl is coming off a 23.1 fantasy point performance against the Knicks on Sunday. He continues to log around 20 minutes a night as the Raptors do a great job of spreading out their minutes between the starters and the bench. He needs 20.5 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. The Nets are 29th against the position in their last 15 games. Poeltl should get enough minutes to hit value. ***
Nerlens Noel, DAL at NY ($4,200): Noel has been over value in his last four, including 25.3 fantasy points against the Rockets on Sunday. He’s playing at least 15 minutes a game and more depending on the matchup. Noel’s versatility could play well against a Knicks team that is throwing a lot of things at the wall right now. He needs 18.3 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. He’s making the most of his limited minutes and should be over 20 fantasy points against New York. ***
