High Salary C

Brook Lopez-Brooklyn Nets (7,200): There are a nice group of value options at center tonight, so you probably want to go with two of them–one in your center spot and one in your utility spot, but if you do decide to spend on a center, Brook Lopez is a great option having produced 53 fantasy points in two of his last four games.  BroLo had 31 points and ten rebounds against the Thunder on Sunday night for 53.5 fantasy points and also had 53 fantasy points against the Raptors a week ago yesterday. If Hassan Whiteside is out, he should be able to dominate the Miami fill-ins in the middle making him the best expensive center to target tonight. No Whiteside-∗∗∗∗ With Whiteside-∗∗

Nikola Vucevic-Orlando Magic (7,600): Vooch is another nice option in the middle coming into tonight having posted five straight double-doubles with at least 35 fantasy points in six of his last seven games. He managed a pretty solid 16 points, 14 rebounds, two blocks, and three assists against the stout Memphis interior defense last nigh and now he’ll face Greg Monroe and the Bucks tonight. He has been better at home than on the road and has played fewer minutes at times on the second night of back-to-backs, so there is definitely risk taking him tonight, but I do like his upside. ∗∗∗

Greg Monroe-Milwaukee Bucks (7,000): On the other side of that Eastern Conference matchup, Monroe will be going for his third straight game with over 40 fantasy points and he has seven double-doubles in his last eight games.  He has been a key part of the Bucks offense this year and is settling in nicely with his new team even though Milwaukee has been a disappointment overall. ∗∗∗∗
