Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons

Price: $9,300

If Embiid's matchup worries you too much, or if his price tag is too high and you're looking for someone to pair with Westbrook, paying down to Andre Drummond at the center spot can give you the potential for some huge upside as well.

This matchup with the New York Knicks may not be as soft now as it was earlier this season (11th-most fantasy points per minute to centers) now that they have DeAndre Jordan, but it's still not one to be too concerned about.

Jordan's overall effect on the Dallas Mavericks' rebounding wasn't anything special this season, as their rebound rate was nearly identical when he was on and off the floor. In the 2017-18 season, the Los Angeles Clippers rebounded at a rate only 2.7% higher with him on the floor than off, which is the smallest difference he had made since the 2012-13 season. He's also allowing the eighth-highest field goal percentage in the restricted area among the 51 centers facing at least 10 restricted area field goal attempts per game.

Drummond's 9.2 restricted area field goal attempts per game are the third-most in the NBA, and he ranks third in the NBA in total rebound rate.

Drummond has posted at least 49 FanDuel points in four of his last five games, which leaves him priced way below the way he has been producing. That's easy to like in this matchup.
