NBA DFS Centers:

Embiid has only averaged 45.5 DraftKings points per game in his career facing Nikola Vucevic. You aren’t getting that ceiling game out of Embiid here. You wont out of Vucevic either. Paying up at center feels like a waste of money here.

Deandre Ayton has been slow to come around. Normally I would be all over Christian Wood here. He should smash the Kings. The issue is that Cousins, Wall, and Gordon are all back. Wood’s days of smashing value are gone, unfortunately. Wait for Wood’s price to go down before deploying again.

Steven Adams has been nothing special so far this year, but he does take on his former team here for those of you that chase narratives. For those of you that just chase the good plays, Mitch Robinson and Richaun Holmes are far better picks.

For you riverboat gamblers, I present Isaiah Roby. He had a better game than any Horford has had so far. The Thunder should give Roby more minutes, but even if he only gets 20 minutes at this price, he can flirt with 6x value.
