Monday, March 2

We have a nice four-game slate on this Monday with a couple of interesting Big 12 games that will have a meaningful impact on the tournament seeding wise, and for Texas, to keep themselves from falling out of the bubble. Texas needs this win badly, but Baylor is a great team and is not going to give it up easily.

Baylor

Kenny Chery ($6,400) – I am not a big fan of Baylor here. They have been playing really slow lately, Texas is solid defensively, especially in the middle of the paint and this is the second-lowest scoring game of the night. That being said, on a short slate I do not think you can completely ignore it. Chery is the cheapest guy who gets a ton of minutes, and while he has not been great lately he has averaged 21 FPPG on the year and has 35-point upside. I would stray away from using him in cash games on FanDuel ,but he does make an interesting GPP play.

Texas

Kendal Yancy ($5,400) – Yancy has taken over for Felix and is playing 30 minutes per game now. Lately, the Texas rotation has been a complete mess, which you do not see a lot of in the late stages, but this team is in chaos, losing their last four games. Texas is going to need its shooters to bust the interior of this Baylor zone and I think Yancy does a good job of that today. He is still cheap with a decent usage rate across the industry and makes one of the better value plays on the board, despite this game projected to be very low paced and low scoring.
