Saturday's Center Value Rankings
Here are theScore's center value rankings for Saturday's six-game slate.
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Tyson Chandler (PHX) | at NO | 9 |
| Enes Kanter (OKC) | at SAC | 8 |
| Mason Plumlee (POR) | vs. MIN | 7 |
Chandler comes with an economical salary and a seemingly reliable string of strong play. He has topped 30 minutes in five straight contests while registering a double-double in all five as well. A matchup against New Orleans won't stop the veteran.
Recency bias will likely shoot ownership levels up for aware DFS players. Kanter is coming off a monstrous 33-point, 20-rebound performance on Wednesday (when Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant rested) and also notched a double-double the game prior.
Mid-Tier Targets
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Pau Gasol (CHI) | vs. CLE | 6 |
| Karl-Anthony Towns (MIN) | at POR | 6 |
| Alex Len (PHX) | at NO | 5 |
Gasol is a strong cash-game option, though a matchup against Cleveland should limit his ceiling.
Towns is the most expensive center on the slate and comes with 20-point, 10-rebound upside. Use him in tournament play only because of his cap hit.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Al Horford (ATL) | vs. BOS | 5 |
| Alexis Ajinca (NO) | vs. PHX | 5 |
| Jared Sullinger (BOS) | at ATL | 4 |
Horford is simply too expensive for modest averages of 15.2 points and 7.2 rebounds.
