High Value C

Robin Lopez-New York Knicks (5,100): Lopez has been playing strong lately with back-to-back double-doubles against the 76ers and the Jazz in his last two games.  He had 41.4 fantasy points on Wednesday against Utah on 22 points and 12 boards while adding three blocks in his 40 minutes.  He has at least 20 fantasy points in nine of his last ten with at least 25 fantasy points in six of those contests.  Lopez will have to tangle with DeAndre Jordan tonight, but I think he’s got another solid night in him as he steps up for the Knicks. ∗∗∗

Kelly Olynyk-Boston Celtics (5,000): Olynyk’s role in the Boston rotation is still tenuous, but he has scored in double digits in five straight games and had 16 points, nine rebounds, and 29.8 fantasy points when the C’s played the Bulls a few weeks ago.  He is still risky due to his minutes sometimes ending up in the low 20’s, but he is a gamble with lots of upside to like at just 5K tonight.∗∗

Spencer Hawes-Charlotte Hornets (3,500): The best ultra-cheap option in the middle tonight is Hawes who will likely start in place of Zeller against the Magic.  Hawes did have six points and six boards on Wednesday to finish with 16.7 fantasy points and also had a solid 22.3-fantasy-point game last Saturday against the Bucks.  He can give you some decent numbers from his rock-bottom price point, so look his way if you have to decide to save money at center. ∗∗
