Top Four Cs

  1. Brook Lopez (Nets) – $7,400 @ Nuggets (8th)
  2. Al Horford (Hawks) – $7,400 @ Lakers (29th)
  3. Alex Len (Suns) – $5,700 @ Magic (17th)
  4. Robin Lopez (Knicks) – $5,600 @ Celtics (27th)

Rationale:

  • Lopez scored 21.5 fantasy points in his prior meeting with the Nuggets this season. He only had four rebounds in that contest, which diminished his fantasy value. The Nuggets are 21st in opponent field goal percentage. Scoring will be the biggest factor for Lopez against Denver. He’s projected to score 43.4 fantasy points.
  • Horford scored 37.8 fantasy points in his first game against the Lakers this season. He had 16 points and nine rebounds in that game. The Lakers are fourth worst in rebounding percentage and second worst in opponent field goal percentage. Horford has a favorable matchup and is projected to score 36.4 fantasy points.
  • Len scored 45 fantasy points in his first game against the Magic this season. He had 20 points and 14 rebounds in that contest. He has scored 29 fantasy points or more in each of his games since the All-Star Break. He’s projected to score 30.1 fantasy points.
  • Lopez is scoring 28.7 FPPG in three games against the Celtics this season. Rebounding will be key for Lopez to have great fantasy success. Since the All-Star Break, Lopez has three double-doubles and is scoring 40-plus fantasy points in those three games. He’s projected to score 26.7 fantasy points.
