High Value C

Jusuf Nurkic, POR vs HOU ($6,300): Nurkic had 41.9 fantasy points against the Clippers on Sunday. He posted 27.1 fantasy points in 21 minutes against the Rockets on Jan. 10 and needs 28 fantasy points to hit value on Tuesday. He’s a slight risk because his minutes could be limited once again due to the matchup. But he’ll be productive in the minutes he does play and should do enough to at least hit value. ***

Greg Monroe, BOS vs OKC ($5,000): Monroe has been over value in four straight and is coming off a 24.2 fantasy point performance against the Pelicans on Sunday. The Thunder rank fifth against the position in their last 15 games. Boston will need someone to deal with the size and strength of Steven Adams and Monroe is their best option. Based on that, he could see increased minutes, leading to him picking up more points and rebounds. ***

Jakob Poeltl, TOR at ORL ($4,500): The Magic are 27th against the position in their last 15 games. Poeltl has been under value in three straight, but did manage 44.1 fantasy points against the Magic on Feb. 28. He needs 20 fantasy points to hit value on Monday. Given the opponent, there is a good chance that Toronto is able to limit the minutes of their starters. That will give the Raptors bench more minutes, thus increasing the opportunities for Poeltl. If you don’t want to take a risk with Jonas Valanciunas’ salary and potentially limited minutes, Poeltl is a good fallback option. ***
