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?

5. Steven Adams, Oklahoma City Thunder

Technically in a tie for fourth, Steven Adams loses the tiebreaker by being less of a tournament-heavy option in comparison to cash-game viability. His 58.1% tournament-to-cash ratio cedes the four spot to Nikola Vucevic.

Steven Adams 55 18 32.7%


It's sort of odd, but Adams is the only center to make both the top-five cash-game plays and tournament plays at the position. He's consistent but has shown the ability to play far and above his usual price point.

Adams has 8 games this season with at least 35 FanDuel points (FDP), including 2 at or above 40 FDP. He's taken advantage of good matchups and, in doing so, has produced 18 performances of 5.5 points per $1,000 or better.

The Thunder center is particularly attractive at his price point. He's never cost more than $6,300 and has been tightly-priced, without a game under $4,700.
