Top Four Centers

  1. Karl-Anthony Towns ($8,800) vs. Chicago Bulls
  2. Dwight Howard ($7,600) vs. Orlando Magic
  3. Steven Adams ($5,300) vs. Portland Trail Blazers
  4. Robin Lopez ($5,100) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

Rationale:

  • If the trend continues, Dwight Howard could be in line for a monster rebounding night against the Magic. Howard has alternated 17-rebound efforts, with seven rebounds coming on the offensive end, twice in the past four games, with relatively quiet rebounding nights sandwiched in between. Howard is averaging 12.4 rebounds per game and has collected 10 or more rebounds 16 times in 23 games, so he is a workable center option in any FanDuel NBA lineup.
  • As one of just 15 players to post more than 20 blocks and 20 steals this season, Steven Adams is finding plenty of ways to contribute defensively. The 7-foot center has significantly increased his value in FanDuel NBA tournaments by scoring consistently in the past two games, averaging 20 points while connecting on 15-of-17 shot attempts from the field. Adams has shot better than 85 percent from the field three times in the past four games for Oklahoma City.
