High Value C

Tristan Thompson-Cleveland Cavaliers (4,900): If you have to go under 5K for your fantasy center, Thompson is definitely worth a look since he does good work on the glass when he gets minutes for the Cavs.  He played 28 minutes like the rest of the starters in Game 1 with 14.4 fantasy points on six points, seven rebounds, and a steal.  He continues to start and log almost all the meaningful minutes in the middle for the Cavs, so he makes sense if you have to go under 5K for your center or are at your team max for the Thunder (like my lineup on the next slide).

Andrew Bogut-Golden State Warriors (3,900): Bogut had 14.1 fantasy points in 17 minutes in Game 1 and continues to battle a hip injury.  The Warriors could definitely use his size and rebounding against the Thunder, but the big Aussie is a health risk at this point even though there’s lots of upside to like at such an affordable price.
