Joakim Noah, C, Memphis Grizzlies

FanDuel Price: $3,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 16.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.39

Marc Gasol's trade from the Memphis Grizzlies has opened up plenty of time in the middle. While Jonas Valanciunas is expected to be the long-term answer, the former Toronto Raptor has still not suited up for Memphis and is uncertain to do so on Tuesday. In his absence, Joakim Noah and Ivan Rabb have split time minutes at center. While Rabb continues to start, Noah has been a productive fantasy asset over the last few games and will be again if JV remains out.

Over his last six games, Noah has pulled out some vintage performances, dropping at least 18.5 FanDuel points five times while surpassing 24 FanDuel points four times. He is averaging 9.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 20.4 minutes since January 26. The big man is coming off his best performance of the year too, having racked up his second double-double in his last three games, with 19 points and 14 rebounds for 39.3 FanDuel points.

Noah gets a soft matchup on Tuesday as the Spurs have given up 1.11 FanDuel points per minute to opposing centers this season. That means Noah needs to play just 16.8 minutes to reach 5.0 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary.
