DFS: Monday's Center Value Rankings
Here are theScore's center value rankings for Monday, November 30:
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Leon Draisaitl (EDM) | at TOR | 10 |
| Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (EDM) | at TOR | 9 |
| Matt Duchene (COL) | at NYI | 9 |
| Frans Nielsen (NYI) | vs COL | 9 |
| John Tavares (NYI) | vs COL | 8 |
Draisaitl's price tag has yet to match his production. He and the Oilers have a great matchup against the Leafs and goaltender Garret Sparks, who will be making his NHL debut. Duchene's matchup isn't the best, but the guy is on fire and is still worth drafting based on his price. Nielsen has eight points in his last seven games.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Henrik Sedin (VAN) | at ANA | 7 |
| Brock Nelson (NYI) | vs COL | 7 |
| Ryan Getzlaf (ANA) | vs VAN | 7 |
| Derick Brassard (NYR) | vs CAR | 7 |
| Nathan MacKinnon (COL) | at NYI | 6 |
Sedin is playing at a near point-per-game pace. Getzlaf is showing signs of coming around with five assists on Tuesday against Calgary. Nelson plays alongside Tavares on New York's top line. Brassard is seeing a jump in ice time with the absence of Derek Stepan.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Nazem Kadri (TOR) | vs EDM | 5 |
| Tyler Bozak (TOR) | vs EDM | 5 |
| Ryan Kesler (ANA) | vs VAN | 4 |
| Kevin Hayes (NYR) | vs CAR | 3 |
| Victor Rask (CAR) | at NYR | 3 |
| Eric Staal (CAR) | at NYR | 2 |
Oilers goaltender Anders Nilsson has been solid lately, which limits the appeal of Leafs skaters. Kadri has a higher floor due to his shot total, but Bozak has tallied more points. Kesler could have a good night against his former mates, but it's best to fade most Anaheim players for the time being. Carolina could easily get shutout vs. King Henrik.
