Top Four Cs

  1. Brook Lopez (Nets) – $7,600 @ Hawks
  2. Greg Monroe (Bucks) – $6,900 @ Hornets
  3. Andre Drummond (Pistons) – $8,600 vs. Warriors
  4. Jared Sullinger (Celtics) – $5,100 @ Wizards

Rationale:

  • Lopez is averaging 47.4 FPPG in two meetings with the Hawks this season. He leads NBA centers in scoring. Playing against the 21st team against centers will benefit him.
  • Monroe scored 38.5 fantasy points in the first game against the Hornets. He’s scoring 41.4 FPPG in his last four games. His price range should allow him to provide value.
  • Drummond scored 44.8 fantasy points against the Warriors in their first meeting. He’s struggling, only hitting his average of 45.0 FPPG once in his last six games. With his price driven down to $8,600, it creates a higher opportunity to hit value against the fourth-best team against centers.
  • Sullinger is scoring 43.9 FPPG in his two meetings against the Wizards. He’s only averaging 19.2 FPPG in his last 10 games. His value should be good against a team he’s had success against. The Wizards are eighth against centers this season.
