DraftKings NBA centers:

Best Bets:

Nikola Jokic ($9,400): Jokic put up 51 DraftKings points in the first game against the Warriors. My issue here is the huge blowout potential. You have likely noticed that I don’t have much for Nuggets in this piece for that reason. However, if this game does get out of hand, Jokic will likely be the reason why.

Zion Williamson ($7,700): Zion is going to be able to dominate this Minnesota front that is still without Towns. Minnesota is severely undersized and Zion is riding a wave of 10 straight games of 20 or more actual points, a new league record for a teenager. The only thing that can stop him right now is a zombie apocalypse.

Honorable Mention:

Al Horford ($7,000): I don’t like this matchup or the price, but this is about all Philly has up front. Horford produces across all categories, and since he is the most well-rounded player on the court, the floor is solid. I just don’t see him hitting that against the Lakers.

Steven Adams ($6,200): Adams has 84.75 DraftKings points in the two games against the Clippers so far. He was ineffective against the Kings and didn’t play much as the Bucks blew them off the court within the first quarter on Friday. Can rest bring out the Adams that was dominating after the break? I sure hope so because this looks like a nice spot for him.

Dark Horses:

Harry Giles ($5,600): This is a huge spot for Giles here. He has been putting up good numbers anyway. Foul trouble limited him against Detroit. As long as he can stay on the court, Giles could flirt with 40 DraftKings points. We have seen plenty of potential here and there. If he puts it together, look out.

Bismack Biyombo ($4,300): Throughout his career we have seen Bismack do well when given minutes. Charlotte is giving him decent run of late. Bismack has responded with 92.25 DraftKings points over 81 minutes in the last three games. He will give you good numbers for the price with very little risk involved. Hernangomez is worth a look too.
