Utah Utes (15-10, 6-8 Pac-12) take on the UCLA Bruins (14-11, 9-5) on the road in a Pac-12 matchup. Although many believe UCLA will win, that’s not as important for fantasy players. You need to pick someone who can contribute no matter what. If the defenses dominate tonight, then this becomes even more so true. You cannot go in expecting these sides to drop over 140 points. But there are still good fantasy options, especially for value. Therefore, there are plenty of intriguing options. Navigating how to handle a poor team on the road can be tricky, but recent history matters in these types of games.
Who are some of the players to look for to have a big fantasy day in a potentially low-scoring game?

Utah Utes vs UCLA Bruins Obvious Starts
Lazar Stefanovic-G ($6,200 DK)
The UCLA big man uses his length well and can score. Additionally, he leads this team in rebounding. Particularly with how this game is likely going to play out you need someone like Stefanovic to get you precious points off the glass. Therefore he is a must-start against the Utah Utes today.
Branden Carlson– F ($8,000 DK)
In a similar line of thinking Carlson offers you both rebounding and point scoring. However, he offers slightly more upside in terms of points scored production, as he averages 16.9 PPG. While the Utah Utes may not score much this evening, expect Carlon to flirt with a double-double and find multiple ways onto the score sheet.
Utah Utes vs UCLA Bruins Start ‘Em
Keba Keita-F ($6,200 DK)
Speaking of a double-double! You need to include Keita today! In two of his last three games, he has not only scored in double-digits but also grabbed seven rebounds. His inclusion is again a result of how this game is going to play out. You can expect a mid-teens scoring performance to go along with at least seven rebounds today!
Utah Utes vs UCLA Bruins Sit ‘Em
Sebastian Mack– G ($6,200 DK)
Mack can score and is talented. But in two of his last five games, he scored eight or less points. While he can explode for a big game, against the Utah Utes unit, it’s likely he stays under ten for the game. You aren’t likely to get 3x value from Mack today for your fantasy lineup.
Utah Utes vs UCLA Bruins Lock of the Day
Dylan Andrews– G ($ 6,600 DK)
Someone has to score, and he’s most likely from the guards to put up a good evening! Even in low-scoring games he still gives the UCLA Bruins at least 12 points, while contributing around four assists. Considering the pace of today’s game transition opportunities will likely be limited, but when they happen expect him to either score or find an open teammate. Although no one is on triple-double watch tonight, he’s likely to come to the closes against the Utah Utes.
