Top Four Cs

  1. Dwight Howard (Rockets) – $8,100 vs. Pistons
  2. Marcin Gortat (Wizards) – $7,100 vs. Heat
  3. Jahlil Okafor (76ers) – $6,400 @ Magic
  4. Mason Plumlee (Trail Blazers) – $5,200 vs. Hawks

Rationale:

  • Howard only scored 32 fantasy points against the Pistons earlier this season. He’s on a tear, scoring 44.2 FPPG over his last 10 games. He’s playing against the 28th ranked team versus centers.
  • Gortat scored 31.8 fantasy points against the Heat in an earlier meeting. He’s playing consistently well lately, scoring 34.9 FPPG over his last 10. His rebounding will be a factor against a good defensive team. The Heat are ninth against centers.
  • Okafor scored 34.3 fantasy points in one contes against the Magic. He’s coming off back-to-back 20-point performances and is playing well offensively. Orlando is 24th against centers.
  • Plumlee scored 37 fantasy points against the Hawks earlier this season. He’s coming off of a 38.75 fantasy point performance against the Wizards. Plumlee provides an opportunity for good value at his price against the 21st team versus centers.
