April 1 – Russell Westbrook, Jonas Valenciunas, DeMar DeRozan
Nikola Mirotic - (Chicago - PF) $7.6K – March 23 - Charlotte is looming large on the 23rd. Mirotic just made value against the Hornets coming off the bench. It helps that they have struggled against power forwards of late. He easily made value as a starter against Philadelphia in his previous game.
Brook Lopez (Brooklyn - C) $6.4K - March 23 – Lopez just scored 26 baskets and had 4 blocks against a solid Pacers team. The Celtics rank 21st against opposing centers. With that said, I wouldn’t chance it facing Indiana against on the 31st.
March 29 – You’ll want to play him again on the 29th simply because he had 14 rebounds against the Lakers last time, not to mention 22 baskets.
Pau Gasol (Chicago - PF) $8.8K – March 23 - Charlotte is struggling against power forwards and here we have one of the best in the league. Playing in Charlotte the last time, Gasol had trouble making value against the Hornets. He hit 36 or more fantasy points in three of his last four games.
March 28 – Gasol is a decent pick against a Knicks team he managed to accumulate nearly 40 fantasy points against the last time. This, however, could prove to be a blowout so you’ll want to exercise some degree of caution.
Mike Conley (Memphis - PG) $6K – March 23 – He scored close to 40 fantasy points the last time playing the Knicks. This will be a game on the road. We don’t really see Conley sitting out for this one but there is always that possibility so monitor closely.
March 30 – He’ll face a Sacramento team that ranks 27th against opposing point guards and for whom he tallied up around 30 fantasy points the last time he faced them last month on the road.
Gordon Hayward (Utah - SF) $7.6K - March 23 - Minnesota is giving up the 4th most fantasy points to opposing small forwards. Hayward scored 32 fantasy points in three of his last four games. Beware: The last time he faced the T-Wolves, for whatever the reason, Hayward struggled big time, and that was with nearly 35 minutes worth of production.
Nerlens Noel (Philadelphia - C) $7.7K – March 24 - He accumulated over 40 fantasy points against the last time he faced the Kings.
March 25 - Noel faces a Denver team he hit near 30 fantasy points against the last time facing them. Even with his price shooting up a grand Noel still has value.
Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City - PG) $13.2K – His price will most certainly continue to climb as far as it can and he’ll still have value against two teams upcoming. This is an OKC team that is playing some of its best basketball despite all the players sitting out (most notable of which is Kevin Durant) March 24 - Westbrook faces the Lakers., a team that’s not only bad, they have also given up the most fantasy points to opposing point guards.
March 29 - He’ll face a Suns team that he managed to scrape together over 75 fantasy points against.
April 1 – Dallas is another team that has struggled against opposing point guards and another team Westbrook has had little trouble going over 50 fantasy points against.
Enes Kanter (Oklahoma City - C) $5.8K – March 24 – Had over 45 fantasy points the last time he faced them.
March 29 - Kanter nearly made value the last time he faced off against Phoenix and this go around he’ll be picking up some of the slack due to a number of players sitting out.
Jonas Valenciunas (Toronto - C) $5.2K - March 24 – He needs only 25 fantasy points in order to make value and we don’t see a problem with that versus a Detroit team giving up the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing centers. Valenciunas had over 30 fantasy points against the Knicks on Sunday and two games prior versus Minnesota. He flirted with 40 fantasy points the last time facing Detroit.
April 1 – For the reason cited above related to Minnesota. He puled off over 30 fantasy points against the T-Wolves last time facing them.
Kyle Lowry (Toronto - PG) $7.2K - March 27 – Lowry dismantled the Lakers last time going up against LA back in November and this probably has a whole lot to do with the Lakers inability to contain opposing point guards. Things won’t be much better here though the possibility of a blowout looms large.
DeMar DeRozan (Toronto - SG) $7.4K – April 1 – DeRozan hit nearly 40 fantasy points against Minnesota last time. This one is on the road making a blowout a little less likely especially considering the last matchup in this series was won by only five points.
Hassan Whiteside (Miami - C) $7.7K - March 24 – The Bucks have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing centers since the start of the new year. Whiteside flirted with 40 fantasy points the last time he faced them.
