High Value C

Nikola Jokic-Denver Nuggets (4,700): With Nurkic out again tonight for Denver, Jokic could get minutes against the Pacers.  He produced nine points, six rebounds, and five assists against the Heat on Friday even though he only played 18 minutes.  He has at least 22 fantasy points in each of his last three games and over 20 fantasy points in six of his last nine, but its hard to count on him given the fluid rotations Coach Mike Malone is using and his limited minutes. ∗∗

Steven Adams-Oklahoma City Thunder (4,300): The cheapest option I would consider as a viable option at center tonight is Steven Adams who has at least 15 fantasy points in each of his last ten games and at least 19 fantasy points in four of his last five.  He doesn’t score a ton of points, but his place in the Thunder starting five is secured by solid rebounding and defense which will be tested tonight against Whiteside, Bosh, and the Heat.∗
