Top Four Centers

  1. Karl-Anthony Towns ($9,100) vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
  2. Al Horford ($7,500) vs. New York Knicks
  3. Kyle O’Quinn ($5,500) vs. Boston Celtics
  4. Tristan Thompson ($5,000) vs. Golden State Warriors

Rationale:

  • The list of players averaging 15 points, seven rebounds and five assists per game has been sliced down to just five players. The list gets cut down to one, Boston center Al Horford, when adding an average of 2.0 blocks per game. The wide array of production from Horford, as he also is posting 0.7 steals per game, makes him a savvy addition to all FanDuel NBA lineups.
  • As one of 14 players averaging over 10 rebounds per game, Tristan Thompson has emerged as one of the most consistent in the league. In 28 appearances, Thompson has posted 18 double digit rebounding efforts, making him a viable option each night for FanDuel NBA lineups. Along with his lofty rebounding total, Thompson is blocking a career-high 1.3 shots per game, with a season high four coming against Milwaukee Wednesday night.
