High Value PF
Dirk Nowitzki, DAL at NO ($5,600): Nowitzki had 26.75 fantasy points against the Nets on Saturday, putting himself over value for the first time in five games. His recent slide took him down to hitting value in 68 percent of games this season. He had 14 fantasy points in the first game against the Pelicans this season, but had been over 35 fantasy points in the last two, including 35.75 fantasy points in the Mar. 4 meeting. He’s a solid bet to give you at least 25 fantasy points. ***
Nikola Mirotic, NO vs DAL ($5,400): The Mavericks are 15th against the position in their last 15 games. Mirotic is coming off a 43.5 fantasy point performance against the Celtics on Sunday. Prior to that, he had missed value in five straight. He’s been inconsistent as a member of the Pelicans, but maybe he’s on a hot streak following Sunday’s win. He had 37.75 fantasy points against the Mavericks on Mar. 4. ***
Jae Crowder, UTA vs ATL ($4,600): Jonas Jerebko may draw the start in place of Derrick Favors, but Crowder is going to see more minutes and more time with the starters. He had 18.25 fantasy points against the Kings on Saturday. With Favors out of the lineup, he’ll get a big opportunity to bounce back against a great matchup. Expect him to knockdown a couple of threes and chip in with rebounds and defense, putting himself over value. ***
