Top Four Centers

  1. DeMarcus Cousins ($11,100) vs. Golden State Warriors
  2. Karl-Anthony Towns ($10,400) vs. Denver Nuggets
  3. Myles Turner ($6,400) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
  4. Clint Capela ($5,200) vs. Miami Heat

Rationale:

  • Minnesota is receiving plenty of consistency from sophomore center Karl-Anthony Towns. In each of his last 11 games, Towns has scored 20 or more points, posting 28.9 points per game and shooting above 50 percent 10 times during his run. His status as an elite FanDuel NBA center option is unquestioned, as he is posting 23.7 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. Towns is producing an average of 43.7 FanDuel NBA tournament points per game, seventh most in the NBA this year.
  • Any player capable of producing five times the amount of points than their roster salary for FanDuel NBA lineups is worth strong consideration. Clint Capela is valued at $5,200, meaning he would need to produce 26 fantasy points to provide a return of five times his cost, a feat he has achieved three times in his past five games. Capela is a potent rebounder, especially on the offensive end. While the total figures from Capela may not be as lofty as other center options, with a low entry fee, he could provide the most value at the position.
