Top 4 Centers
- DeAndre Jordan ($8,300) vs. Toronto Raptors
- Steven Adams ($7,100) vs. Utah Jazz
- Al Horford ($6,800) vs. Sacramento Kings
- Enes Kanter ($6,400) vs. Washington Wizards
Rationale:
- A 24-point, 12-rebound effort from Steven Adams Friday night against the Miami Heat marked the sixth time he has totaled at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in a game this year. Of the 12 rebounds, six came on the offensive end, continuing a trend from all season. Adams is averaging 5.1 offensive rebounds a night, tying him with Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond for the highest average in the NBA.
- If Enes Kanter manages to collect 17 rebounds, a feat he has achieved seven times in 68 appearances this year, he could move from eighth into a three-way tie for sixth in total rebounding. Kanter is averaging 10.9 rebounds a game. Joel Embiid and Clint Capela are both averaging 11 rebounds a night, a figure no player on the New York Knicks has achieved since Tyson Chandler in 2013-14. Kanter has collected 10 or more rebounds 40 times this year, six more than his previous career-high.
