Fantasy Basketball Tips 2020/2021: Centers
Here are the recommended centers for the NBA 2020/21 fantasy basketball season with motivations and budget indications
NBA season 2020/2021 is really close! And Dunkest Fantasy Basketball is ready to start again.
In view of this, therefore, we have prepared a series of tips to help less experienced fantasy coaches to deal with their fantasy basketball choices (both in the “One vs all” mode or in the Draft mode against friends).
In this article we will give advices on the best centers, analyzing the hottest names but also the potential surprises.
Top Players
Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers) 18.7 cr
Let’s start immediately with the most precious piece of the list of centers available to choose from. Last year, the performance of Embiid on Dunkest Fantasy Basketball was not totally satisfactory due to a continuous inconsistency of results. With the arrival of coach Rivers and the words of Daryl Morey, however, it is expected that this year the team’s offensive production will grow further, making sure that the first to benefit is the one who is in effect the first offensive terminal. In conclusion, Joel can easily be your captain for this season.
Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz) – 17.3 cr
As a second name we choose the tall Frenchman who – in the hierarchy of coach Snyder – is always a fixed point of the team. In fact, Gobert is a fundamental element for Utah’s balance and his playing time is always high even in less important games. Certainly the possibility of making monstrous performances as it can be in the case of Embiid is lower, but its consistency at the Dunkest Fantasy Basketball level is equal to that of a few others.
Mid-range
Jonas Valanciunas (Memphis Grizzlies) – 12.2 cr
The tall Lithuanian had a basketball rebirth since moving to Tennessee. In fact, if in Toronto he was often seen as not very decisive under the rim, in Memphis the situation that arose was the opposite. The playing time has not changed much, as Valanciunas is a player who tends to give his best when not used for long periods, but the Memphis game system has enhanced him. So, we would give a thought about having him in the team.
LaMarcus Aldridge (San Antonio Spurs) – 11.5 cr
Except for major surprises, the Texas center will remain in San Antonio for the early stages of the season. Together with DeMar DeRozan (another player on whom the market rumors are many), he constitutes the hard core of the team, given the large number of young players on the roster. The player’s scoring skills cannot be doubted even if in rebound, given the age, his contribution has slightly decreased. However, if you have decided to bet strongly on players of other position, his name could be a very interesting for a decent price.
Low cost
Jahlil Okafor (Detroit Pistons) – 7.3 cr
The center drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the last free agency has signed a contract with the Detroit Pistons, a team that has embarked on a path of reconstruction. The hierarchies in the team have yet to be defined, especially for the centers, where he and Plumlee will compete for space. His physical qualities are amazing and if he finds space and minutes, his performance as a reserve center for your team could be really excellent.
Naz Reid (Minnesota Timberwolves) – 5.8 cr
The 1999 prospect showed up in the second half of last season due to the injury of Karl-Anthony Towns. Despite a height that many would underestimate for the NBA canons (2.06cm), his contribution was surprising. His explosiveness under the rim has led to several good performances and considering his very low cost he gives plenty of room for other slots on your team.
