High Value C
Enes Kanter, NY vs CHA ($5,900): Kanter had 26.5 fantasy points against the Sixers on Thursday. His minutes continue to be disappointedly low given his usual production, which is what makes him a risk nowadays. He’s averaging 1.19 FPPM this season. The Hornets are 14th against the position in their last 15 games. The matchup is good for Kanter as he should see time against Dwight Howard, but he’s a risk-reward player due to his minutes. **
Nerlens Noel, DAL at BKN ($5,100): Noel had 41.7 fantasy points against the Raptors on Friday. Both teams are on a back-to-back, so that is less of a concern. However, the Nets are at home and didn’t play an extra five minutes. Brooklyn ranks 30th against the position in their last 15 games. Noel has been solid since returning from injury and this is a great matchup for him to produce against. ***
Pau Gasol, SA vs MIN ($5,200): Gasol has played 15 minutes or less in three straight contests as the Spurs are going a bit smaller, using LaMarcus Aldridge as the center. The Timberwolves are 24th against the position in their last 15 games. If Gasol plays, he typically produces a solid outing. But his minutes are not guaranteed right now, which puts him as a risk. The matchup is good if he sees court time. **
