DraftKings NBA centers:
Best Bets:
Serge Ibaka ($7,800): I may not use Ibaka depending on who returns and in what capacity for the Raptors. Both Gasol and Siakam are questionable for the first time in weeks. If both play, I’m completley off Ibaka. If Gasol is still out, this is a good enough matchup to still consider him.
Deandre Ayton ($7,700): This is a great matchup for Ayton. He hasn’t had big numbers since his return from suspension, but he has been good enough for the price. Orlando and Sacramento are both decent on the inside. We should see Ayton back up over 40 DraftKings points tonight.
Honorable Mention:
Jonas Valanciunas ($6,300): This is not a good matchup for Jonas, but he put up another game of more than 32 DraftKings points on Friday. That’s his ninth such game in the last 11. The Warriors have held Jonas to 51 DraftKings points in 53 minutes this year, but if Jonas gets 30 minutes again, he’ll still hit value.
Jarrett Allen ($5,500): If yoi udon’t check the recent game log, Allen will be in every one of your lineups. He has 73.75 DraftKings points in two games against the Hawks this year. Acutally, Allen has been solid enough over the last three outings. His swoon around New Year’s seems to be over and he’s back to solid production again. I’ll take it at a relatively weak position.
Dark Horses:
Bismack Biyombo ($4,300): Charlotte is still rolling with Biyombo as the starter. Zeller still gets good minutes and often outdoes Biyombo. Still, Bismack did well in the first meeting with Phoenix and he’s still putting up over 20 DraftKings points with regulartiy. You can do worse for the price,. though Biyombo lacks upside.
Willie Cauley-Stein ($4,100): WCS didn’t respond all that well to his first time coming off the bench since October on Friday. I view that more as the Warriors playing matchups. WCS should be back to starting tonight. He provides solid upside for the price.
