Top 4 Centers

  1. Andre Drummond ($9,900) vs. Houston Rockets
  2. Rudy Gobert ($9,500) vs. Dallas Mavericks
  3. Willie Cauley-Stein ($6,900) vs. Atlanta Hawks
  4. Dewayne Dedmon ($5,800) vs. Sacramento Kings

Rationale:

  • A 10-rebound performance from Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond was his lowest total in the past seven games, but he remained an elite FanDuel NBA roster option by anchoring the defensive attack. Seemingly any shot the Phoenix Suns lofted toward the rim Tuesday night became redirected, as Drummond swatted away five shots, one shy of matching his season-high. The impact Drummond provides defensively is a unmatched, as he is the only player to record at least 100 steals and 100 blocks this season.
  • Rudy Gobert has totaled 10 or more rebounds in 10 consecutive games, averaging 18.9 points, 13.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game while converting 68.6 percent of his field goal attempts. The extreme efficiency of Gobert makes him an ideal center candidate for any FanDuel NBA lineup. Even though injuries have forced him to miss 26 games this season, Gobert still ranks seventh in the league with 104 blocks and his average of 2.3 blocks per game trails only Kristaps Porzingis and Anthony Davis for the highest average in the NBA.
