Top Four Cs

  1. Pau Gasol (Bulls) – $9,000 vs. Hawks (26th)
  2. Nikola Vucevic (Magic) – $7,200 vs. Spurs (13th)
  3. DeAndre Jordan (Clippers) – $7,900 @ Celtics (21st)
  4. Gorgui Dieng (Timberwolves) – $6,700 vs. Raptors (5th)

Rationale:

  • Gasol scored 26.3 fantasy points against the Hawks in their first meeting. He is playing well over his last eight games, scoring 46.4 FPPG. He’s projected to score 47.9 fantasy points on Wednesday.
  • Vucevic scored 42.5 fantasy points in his first game against the Spurs this season. He did so with a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double. He’s projected to score 40.3 fantasy points.
  • Jordan is playing well over his last five games, scoring 46.1 FPPG. The Celtics are fourth in opponents field goal percentage, so the Clippers will need to utilize Jordan’s high-percentage shots. He’s projected to score 41.9 fantasy points.
  • Dieng has been starting at power forward for the injured Kevin Garnett. In his last eight games, Dieng is scoring 36.3 FPPG. His defensive abilities in shot blocking and steals add extra value over other players in his price range. He is projected to score 31.6 fantasy points.
  • The center position is top-heavy, so also consider Brook Lopez, Karl-Anthony Towns, Jahlil Okafor and Nikola Jokic.
