Top Four Centers
- DeMarcus Cousins ($11,200) vs. Portland Trail Blazers
- Rudy Gobert ($7,600) vs. Golden State Warriors
- Joel Embiid ($7,200) vs. New Orleans Pelicans
- Nene Hilario ($4,100) vs. San Antonio Spurs
Rationale:
- Rudy Gobert believes he is the best center in the league and he has made a strong case for himself after shutting down Marc Gasol Sunday night. During a victory in Memphis, Gobert converted 9-of-9 shot attempts as part of a 21 point, 12 rebound and three block effort while limiting Gasol to eight points on 4-of-22 shooting. Gobert has posted a double digit rebound total in 13 straight games and has blocked a league-high 76 shots this season.
- The value of Rockets center Nene has significantly increased since starter Clint Capela is expected to miss six weeks after breaking his left fibula. Houston has yet to start Nene or play him more than 25 minutes in 23 appearances this season, but he will likely see a dramatic increase in playing time, making him a potential value play in FanDuel NBA leagues on a nightly basis.
