Top 4 Centers

  1. Anthony Davis ($11,700) vs. Milwaukee Bucks
  2. Joel Embiid ($10,500) vs. Washington Wizards
  3. Nikola Jokic ($9,700) vs. Houston Rockets
  4. Pau Gasol ($5,700) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

Rationale:

  • With a pair of performances with more than 90 fantasy points in FanDuel NBA league play in the past four games, New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis justifiably carries the heaviest price tag for a roster spot Sunday. The latest statistical binge from Davis came against the Miami Heat, as he totaled 45 points, 17 rebounds, five blocks, five steals and two assists. New Orleans needed each contribution, as the team escaped American Airlines Arena with a 124-123 victory. Few teams rely as heavily on one player as the Pelicans, so Davis is a wise addition for any FanDuel NBA lineup.
  • Joel Embiid submitted his 30th double-double of the season Saturday afternoon against the Orlando Magic, totaling 28 points and 14 rebounds in an effort that enabled him to watch the final eight minutes of the game. Embiid’s double-double total is even more impressive considering he has played just 46 times this year, meaning he registers at least 10 points and 10 rebounds in 65.2 percent of his games played this year. The lofty total merits strong consideration for FanDuel NBA lineups.
