High Salary C

Players costing over $6,667

Brook Lopez (vs BKN – $6,800): Needs 30.4 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 26.4 fantasy points against Philadelphia. If Embiid plays, you can obviously take him because he’s Joel Embiid and he’s up against the Bulls. As for Lopez, his salary might be a tad too high given the production he’s giving you right now. But he did have 36.4 fantasy points against the Nets on April 1 and it is a good matchup. And it’s not like you have a ton of options at the center position on Saturday. Diagnosis: Reliable with a high ceiling.

High Value C

Players costing $6,667 or under

Jarrett Allen (at MIL – $6,000): Needs 26.8 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 24.8 fantasy points against Toronto. A more reliable option might be Allen, whose minutes seem to be there right now. He hasn’t shown a high ceiling in awhile but he gets his points and rebounds while chipping in with some defensive numbers. He had 26.8 fantasy points against the Bucks on April 1. Diagnosis: Reliable with a good ceiling.

Robin Lopez (vs PHI – $5,300): Needs 23.7 fantasy points. LAST GAME – 21 fantasy points against Washington. The minutes are typically there for Lopez right now and with the Sixers missing Embiid, he should have an easier time against them. He had 30.3 fantasy points against the Sixers on March 6. He’s a more reliable option than Felicio and again, with no Embiid, the ceiling is much higher for him in this matcup. Diagnosis: Very reliable with a good ceiling.
