Make some noise for your top fantasy center… *DJ air horn sound effect* ...Dwight Howard!
Outscoring even Boogie, Howard has racked up nearly 200 FanDuel points over his last four games, including nights of 36 and 37 FanDuel points sandwiched between an insane 71-points-on-FanDuel game against the Bulls last Friday and 54 FanDuel points against the Rockets on Wednesday night.
He’s been quite the stud over the past week, having scored at least 20 points in each of his four games, while racking up an incredible 57 rebounds and 13 blocks over the same span.
Before Monday, Howard’s salary was routinely set below $8,000. But with the recent uptick in production, as well as two consecutive salaries of $8,800, we’ll have to wait and see how it settles.
Under the $8,000 mark, Howard is a solid option on most nights, returning 35 FanDuel points per game on the season. But once you start creeping upwards with higher price tags, decisions can become a bit tougher with guys like Clint Capela, Myles Turner, DeAndre Jordan, and even Steven Adams in some spots, all of whom are typically found sub-$8,000.
