Top Four Cs

  1. DeAndre Jordan (Clippers) – $7,700 @ Thunder (4th)
  2. Alex Len (Suns) – $6.600 vs. Knicks (22nd)
  3. Dwight Howard (Rockets) – $8,000 @ 76ers (28th)
  4. Robin Lopez (Knicks) – $5,600 @ Suns (2nd)

Rationale:

  • Jordan is scoring 36.5 FPPG in two meetings with the Thunder this season. He’s scoring 53.9 FPPG in his last three games, including a 51.0-fantasy point performance against the Thunder last week. He’s projected to score 40.7 fantasy points.
  • Len scored 14.8 fantasy points in 16 minutes against the Knicks in their previous meeting, but a lot has changed since then. He has been a starter for the Suns lately and is scoring 45.0 FPPG in his last five games. He’s projected to score 35.2 fantasy points.
  • Howard scored 39.3 fantasy points against the 76ers in their first meeting. He had 14 points and 14 rebounds in that game, and should have similar success on the boards against the worst team in rebounding percentage. He’s projected to score 37.4 fantasy points.
  • Lopez scored 21.3 fantasy points in his first game against the Suns this season. Scoring can maximize his fantasy value, but he should have success rebounding against the Suns, who are 16th in rebounding percentage. Lopez is projected to score 27.2 fantasy points.
