DraftKings NBA Centers:

Best Bets:

Nikola Jokic ($9,200): Jokic has really only had one good game all year. It came against the Suns. Jokic dominated this interior for 66.5 DraftKings points. I doubt that Jokic plays 40 minutes like he did in that one, but he put up those numbers with Baynes in there. The amount of damage that he could do against Frank the Tank could break the slate.

Honorable Mention:

Montrezl Harrell ($6,300): Harrell put up 42.75 DraftKings points against the Pelicans earlier this year and that was with Favors in the lineup. The Clippers have a whole lot of production from ust about every slot in the lineup. Harrell’s production has taken a bit of a hit as well, but not enough to chase me off in a matchup like this.

Dark Horses:

Mitch Robinson ($4,700): Robinson isn’t immune to the Knicks rotations, but he is less susceptible that most. Robinson’s issues are usually with fouls. Robinson racked up 24.75 DraftKings points in the first meeting against the Nets in just 16 minutes because of, you guessed it, foul trouble. The potential value here far outweighs the risk. Robinson is one of my favorite value plays of the truncated slate.

Jaxson Hayes ($4,300): Hayes is fun to watch, but he’s still a rookie. With rookies come a lot of inconsistent play. I wont say that Hayes has been all that inconsistent with Favors and Okafor out, but he has gotten himself into foul trouble lately. Even if Okafor is active, I would be surprised if he started. I think Hayes has done enough to hold the job until Favors comes back. I like Hayes regardless of the status of Okafor. I will flip if Okafor starts, though I’m not sure I would use either one of them then.
