Top Four Cs

  1. Andre Drummond (Pistons) – $8,500 vs. 76ers (20th)
  2. DeAndre Jordan (Clippers) – $7,100 @ Hawks (25th)
  3. Rudy Gobert (Jazz) – $6,700 vs. Hornets (13th)
  4. Nikola Jokic (Nuggets) – $5,000 @ Celtics (21st)

Rationale:

  • Drummond scored 51 fantasy points in a previous meeting with Philadelphia. His game has been anything but friendly to DraftKings users as of late. But after the Pistons’ flight landed, he refused to sleep and went to the gym to work on his game, according to his Snapchat. He also scored 5.7 FPPG more at home than on the road.
  • Jordan has yet to play the Hawks this season, but he’s stepped up since Blake Griffin‘s injury. The Clippers will continue to need that from him, since Griffin fought a team manager and injured his hand, according to ESPN.com. Jordan has five 40-fantasy point performances in his last 10 games.
  • Gobert had 46 fantasy points in the first game against the Hornets. He’s coming off a 17-point, 17-rebound game that netted him 44.75 fantasy points against the Pistons. Gobert will get increased touches with Derrick Favors still easing his way back into the rotation.
  • Jokic has played well in his last two games, scoring 38.9 FPPG. With his price tag, he may be the best option at the center position to return value at a weak position for DraftKings players.
