High Value C

Robin Lopez-Chicago Bulls (5,300): With so many good high salary options, tonight isn’t really the night to go cheap at center, but check out RoLo if you are looking for a sub-6K play. Lopez has at least 32 fantasy points in three of his last four games and posted a 10-9-1 line with a season-high eight blocks against the Lakers on Wednesday for 38.3 fantasy points. He doesn’t have any minutes limit at all, unlike Embiid, and gets a good matchup against the Cavs tonight. Lopez is settling in very nicely to his new home with the Bulls and has become one of my go-to value options in my FanDuel daily picks.∗∗

Kelly Olynyk-Boston Celtics (3,800): Olynyk has settled into his bench role for Boston nicely and has posted over 16 fantasy points in each of his last four fames including 28.2 fantasy points on 14-6-4 against the Heat on Monday and 24.6 fantasy points against the Pistons on 19-3-2. If you are going under 4K at center so you can spend elsewhere, he would be my first choice.

Dewayne Dedmon-San Antonio Spurs (3,800): Dedmon is also a good sub-4K option as he comes off the bench for the Spurs. He got a spot start in place of a resting Pau Gasol on Wednesday and finished with six points, ten rebounds, and three blocks for 28 fantasy points. He had 20.6 fantasy points off the bench the game before that and continues to be a cheap flier that produces when given a chance.
