We prove that the composition of a minimal usco map, defined on a Baire space, with a lower semicontinuous function is single valued and usco at each point of a dense G$ subset of its domain. This extends earlier results of Kenderov and Fitzpatrick. As a first consequence, we prove that a Banach space, with the property that there exists a strictly convex, weak* lower semicontinuous function on its dual, is a weak Asplund space. As a second consequence, we present a short proof of the fact that a Banach space with separable dual is an Asplund space.
