Center

High Salary: Marc Gasol is a low-risk option at center since he produces in so many categories.  He has at least 3 FanDuel points in each of his last four games and is coming off back to back games with at least 15 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and two blocks. He plays big minutes almost every game for the Grizzlies, and he should see plenty of run against the Mavs today who have allowed the third-most FanDuel points to opposing centers in their last five games. Gasol is a safe, but expensive, investment at Center for today.

High Salary: The Hawks have been playing extremely well lately and part of the reason is the re-emergence of Al Horford. Horford has scored 15 points or more in each of his last five games while adding assist and rebounds at a nice pace.  Today, he’ll face the Pistons who he put up 19 points and 16 rebounds against a couple of weeks ago on his way to 44.2 FanDuel points.  Horford has posted at least 32 FanDuel points each of his last five games, and is a good pick to get another solid line today against Detroit.

High Value: At 6,000 Roy Hibbert is not among the cheapest value options, but he has produced solid lines lately including an impressive 12 points, 14 rebounds, and six blocks on Saturday against Charlotte. Hibbert has been over 20 FanDuel points in each of his last five games with a pair of 40+ FanDuel point performances.  Today against Houston, he’ll look to continue his recent success as he tangles with Dwight Howard.

High Value: Another value option that is even cheaper and can help you spread your wealth more to the other positions, Alex Len has been stepping up for Phoenix lately and is in a nice matchup tongith against the Lakers.  Len has at least eight rebounds in six stragith games including a pair of double-doubles against the Grizzlies and Cavaliers.  He has at least 24 FanDuel points in each of his last six games and should be able to pick up another good line against the Lakers tonight who have allowed the fifth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing centers on the season.
