NBA
The 5 Best Centers to Target in Daily Fantasy Basketball Tournaments
Which big men have been the most valuable boom-or-bust DFS options so far this NBA season?

3. Cody Zeller, Charlotte Hornets

Due to injuries, Cody Zeller has played fewer games than the others, but he does have a slight edge nonetheless.

Player Games Games ≥ 5.5X Rate
Cody Zeller 39 13 33.3%


The young Charlotte Hornets center has hit tournament value one out of every three times he's played this year. In fact, in 11 of those 13 instances, Zeller reached more than 6.0 FDP per $1,000.

He's put up at least 30 FDP 8 times in the earlier parts of this season. That's not bad for a player who has only been priced between $4,000 and $5,400 throughout his first 39 games.

Zeller has a game of 5.3 FDP, but has also maxed out at 35.1. While that's a limited ceiling, that screams tournament play at his salary.
