Saturday's Center Value Rankings
Here are theScore's center value rankings for Saturday's four-game slate.
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Marreese Speights (GS) | at LAC | 10 |
| Marcin Gortat (WAS) | at MIA | 8 |
With Andrew Bogut sidelined with an achilles injury, Speights should see all the work he can handle.
Gortat fell a rebound short of a sixth consecutive double-double Friday, but managed the feat in two earlier games against Miami this season.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Al Horford (ATL) | vs. MIL | 7 |
| Greg Monroe (MIL) | at ATL | 7 |
| Karl-Anthony Towns (MIN) | vs. NY | 7 |
| Hassan Whiteside (MIA) | vs. WAS | 6 |
| DeAndre Jordan (LAC) | vs. GS | 6 |
| Robin Lopez (NY) | at MIN | 6 |
Horford rarely collects enough rebounds for a double-double, but reliably contributes in every category. He's an ideal cash-game option.
It's unclear whether Whiteside will start or come off the bench after serving a one-game suspension Friday - he's played between 17 and 27 minutes over his last four games.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Miles Plumlee (MIL) | at ATL | 5 |
Plumlee may technically start over Monroe, but he still handles a reserve's workload. Speights has a higher upside among other centers at near-minimum prices.
