Top 4 Centers

  1. Joel Embiid ($10,600) vs. Milwaukee Bucks
  2. Dwight Howard ($7,400) vs. Toronto Raptors
  3. Enes Kanter ($6,200) vs. Sacramento Kings
  4. Nerlens Noel ($3,500) vs. New Orleans Pelicans

Rationale:

  • Dwight Howard has posted just one double-double in the past five games, after posting 37 in the first 58 games of the year. The rebounding numbers may have dropped recently for Howard, but he remains a viable FanDuel NBA center option, as he supplemented his statistical output last Tuesday by adding 24 points and five blocks in 28 minutes against the Chicago Bulls. For his career, Howard is averaging 11.7 rebounds per game against the Toronto Raptors and pulled down 13 missed shots when he faced them last month.
  • Any player desperate for a long-term contract is worth consideration in FanDuel NBA leagues. Dallas Mavericks center Nerlens Noel will become an unrestricted free agent this summer and needs to prove to the rest of the NBA he is a worthwhile investment. The financial incentive to produce statistics for the remainder of this year makes Noel a fantastic low-budget option for any FanDuel NBA roster, even if Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle won’t provide him with a steady supply of minutes.
