Top Four Centers

  1. Karl-Anthony Towns ($10,600) vs. Indiana Pacers
  2. Rudy Gobert ($8,300) vs. Los Angeles Lakers
  3. Myles Turner ($6,800) vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
  4. Steven Adams ($5,500) vs. Dallas Mavericks

Rationale:

  • The NBA’s leading shot-blocker, at 2.5 per game, has managed to reject at least one shot in 16 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the league. Rudy Gobert has turned back 18 more shots than anyone else in the league and is facing the Lakers, a team he has been able to victimize throughout the season. In three previous meetings with the Lakers, Gobert has blocked a total of 11 shots, with his 14-point, 17-rebound, five-block effort against the team on Dec. 5 serving as one of his best performances in FanDuel NBA tournament play this season.
  • For just the second time all season, Steven Adams submitted a double-double while scoring at least 20 points. In 31+ minutes against New Orleans, Adams totaled 20 points on 9-of-16 shooting (matching his season-high in field goal attempts), while collecting 11 rebounds. Five of the rebounds for Adams came on the offensive end, marking the seventh time this year he managed to total five or more offensive rebounds.
