Top 4 Centers

  1. Marc Gasol ($8,300) vs. Phoenix Suns
  2. Al Horford ($7,600) vs. New York Knicks
  3. Enes Kanter ($6,300) vs. Boston Celtics
  4. Richaun Holmes ($5,900) vs. Toronto Raptors

Rationale:

  • Gasol is coming off a 30-point, 10-rebound, three-steal and two-assist effort against the Celtics, marking his third double-double this season with at least 30 points, followed by a 21-point, nine-rebound, five-assist game against the Warriors Wednesday night. For his career, Gasol is shooting 51.2 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from 3-point range in games he has three or more days of rest.
  • A back injury is likely to keep starting center Joel Embiid out of the starting lineup, opening up the potential for Richaun Holmes to significantly contribute in FanDuel NBA leagues. In his two starts this season, Holmes has produced 10.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and a block per game, enough to merit consideration for lineups in need of a low cost center on Thursday night.
