DraftKings NBA centers:

Best Bets:

Rudy Gobert ($9,200): Gobert put up 48.5 DraftKings points in the first meeting against the Nets. I’m more interested in the three straight games between 47 and 49 DraftKings points. Is Gobert finally playing with some consistency? It looks like it, and the streak should continue against the Nets.

Clint Capela ($7,800): Harden is playing without Westbrook and Eric Gordon is starting. That’s a hell of a lot of missed shots. Capela should be good for 25 DraftKings points just on rebounds, so he has a great floor here in a solid matchup.

Deandre Ayton ($7,800): Ayton has been a disappointment since his return. He is putting up good numbers, but they aren’t worth his price from a DFS perspective. This is another superb matchup with the Hawks, but I have my doubts that Ayton will actually hit value. However, the floor is 30, so he’s still a solid play.

Honorable Mention:

Montrezl Harrell ($7,000): This is a great matchup for Harrell. Don’t be shocked if the Cavs sit Love and/or Thompson in the second night of a back to back. You can’t trade damaged goods. That would leave Harrell with even more room to operate up front. He could be in for another big night, especially since Harrell put up 40 DraftKings points on a good Nuggets front on Sunday.

Jarrett Allen ($5,700): Allen was a dud the first time against Utah, but he is playing well right now. Not only well, but fairly consistent. I don’t mind Allen if you need to go cheap at center. He should be safer than Spellman.

Dark Horses:

Brook Lopez ($5,100): Consistency has been a huge issue for BroLo this year. That said, he put up 38.75 DraftKings points in the first meeting with the Knicks. I’m not a huge fan of this play since the Knicks are usually strong up front, but there aren’t a lot of bargains at center. You have to take a chance if you want to run Luka and Harden together.

DeAndre Jordan ($4,400): Jordan is splitting minutes right down the middle with Allen still, so there’s solid potential for the price. Jordan had a much better game against Gobert in the first meeting. That could happen again, making Jordan a pretty strong value play.
