Top Four Cs

  1. Andre Drummond (Pistons) – $8,600 vs. Cavaliers (7th)
  2. Nikola Vucevic (Magic) – $7,600 @ Celtics (19th)
  3. DeAndre Jordan (Clippers) – $7,500 vs. Lakers (30th)
  4. Karl-Anthony Towns (Timberwolves) – $7,100 @ Jazz (2nd)

Rationale:

  • Drummond is a complete fantasy player that lacks consistency, but lucky for DraftKings players, he is better at home than on the road. He scored 55.5 fantasy points previously versus the Cavs, and is coming off of a 54-fantasy point performance against a big 76ers team.
  • Vucevic is putting double-doubles up behind-the-scenes of the DeMarcus Cousins show. He has seven double-doubles in his last eight games, and he’s scoring 40.9 FPPG in that span. He previously scored 34 fantasy points previously against the Celtics.
  • Jordan scored 31.5 fantasy points against the Lakers in their first meeting. He’s scoring the ball better than he was in that game and is rebounding much better, especially with the absence of Blake Griffin. His matchup is very favorable, too.
  • Towns torched the Jazz for 45 fantasy points in a previous contest. He’s afraid of nobody and has been on fire in his last five games, scoring 48.5 FPPG. The frontrunner for Rookie of the Year is bound to have another good game.
