Top 4 Centers

  1. Joel Embiid ($10,200) vs. Chicago Bulls
  2. Dwight Howard ($9,000) vs. Brooklyn Nets
  3. Steven Adams ($6,900) vs. Sacramento Kings
  4. Jarrett Allen ($5,300) vs. Charlotte Hornets

Rationale:

  • An extended rest for Joel Embiid is ideal for FanDuel NBA rosters. The seven-foot center has played 13 games with three or more days of rest, resulting in averages of 22.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.1 blocks per game. The Philadelphia 76ers are poised to snap a five-year playoff drought and with Embiid leading the way, he could be in line for more 90-point fantasy performances FanDuel NBA tournament play.
  • The Brooklyn Nets promoted center Jarrett Allen into the starting lineup nine games ago, enabling him to become a viable option in FanDuel NBA league play. Ever since he became a starter, Allen is posting 13 points on 66.7 percent shooting from the field, 7.0 rebounds and just under a block per game. During the same span, Allen set a career-high with 14 rebounds against the Detroit Pistons and submitted three multi-block outings.
