High Value C

Robin Lopez-New York Knicks (5,100): Lopez has been outstanding in his last two games against the Celtics and Pistons, and he’ll look to keep things going tonight against the Grizzlies. Lopez had 17 points and 13 boards for 42.75 fantasy points against the Celtics on Tuesday, and then he followed that up with 26 points and 16 rebounds last night against the Pistons for a massive 51.5 fantasy points. The Grizzlies are a horrible matchup for RoLo and he did just log a total of 72 minutes in those two games earlier this week, but as long as fatigue and Marc Gasol don’t shut him down he’ll be a good play again tonight especially at this very affordable price. 

Frank Kaminsky-Charlotte Hornets (3,900): If you have to go cheap at center, Kaminsky is one of the best options.  He has scored double-digit points in two in a row with over 23 fantasy points in each of those outings.  He has over 20 fantasy points in six of his last ten games, but he can be a volatile option and disappear at times as evidenced by his 3.25 fantasy points and 10.25 fantasy points in two games last week. 

Tyler Zeller-Boston Celtics (3,100): Zeller has played well in the ever-shifting Boston front line rotation with 31 and 26.25 fantasy points in his last two games.  He had 16 points and ten boards against the Knicks on Tuesday, and followed that with a balanced game against the Pistons with six points, five rebounds, four assists, and three blocks in just 14 minutes.  Zeller sometimes isn’t a part of the rotation, but he should have earned some time with his recent play. He’s also taking on his former team as the Celtics take on the Cavaliers although his spot in the rotation is still tenuous at best.
