Top 4 Centers

  1. DeMarcus Cousins ($12,500) vs. Charlotte Hornets
  2. Rudy Gobert ($7,900) vs. Detroit Pistons
  3. Al Horford ($6,700) vs. L.A. Clippers
  4. Dewayne Dedmon ($5,500) vs. Toronto Raptors

Rationale:

  • A knee injury forced Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert to miss 14 consecutive games, but in his return, he has proven to be a promising FanDuel NBA center option. In his three games back, Gobert has averaged 15 points, 10.3 points, 3.0 blocks and 1.0 steals per game. Gobert has rejected three shots in all three games, raising his total number of games with three or more blocks to 10. Throughout the 2017-18 season, Gobert has totaled three or more shots in 47.6 percent of his games played.
  • Few players have managed to rebound as consistently as Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon this season. In his first season with the Hawks, Dedmon is posting 10.4 points on 54.9 percent shooting from the field, 8.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Over his past six games, Dedmon is averaging 9.0 points and 9.7 rebounds a night, totaling at least nine rebounds in each game, making him an ideal low-cost candidate for FanDuel NBA lineups.
