Here are theScore's center value rankings for Saturday, November 14:
Value Rankings
PG | SG | SF | PF | C
Top Options
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Jahlil Okafor (PHI) | at SA | 10 |
| Brook Lopez (BKN) | at GS | 8 |
| Marcin Gortat (WAS) | vs. ORL | 8 |
Okafor will receive plenty of playing time against the Spurs' second and third units. Lopez will face a similar situation against the Warriors, and Gortat has limited upside, but he does have a modest price.
Best of the Rest
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Nikola Vucevic (ORL) | at WAS | 6 |
| Zaza Pachulia (DAL) | at HOU | 6 |
| Dwight Howard (HOU) | vs. DAL | 6 |
| Tyson Chandler (PHX) | vs. DEN | 5 |
| Andrew Bogut (GS) | vs. BKN | 5 |
Howard is unlikely to play much in the second half of a back-to-back, after returning from injury Friday. Pachulia put up his best stat line of the season against the 76ers Friday, but he'll face a much tougher test in Houston. Chandler will have a favorable matchup against the injury-riddled Nuggets' frontcourt, but he hasn't contributed much on either end of the court thus far.
Nothing to See Here
| NAME | OPPONENT | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| Festus Ezeli (GS) | vs. BKN | 2 |
| Timofey Mozgov (CLE) | at MIL | 2 |
| Dewayne Dedmon (ORL) | at WAS | 2 |
| Tim Duncan (SA) | vs. PHI | 1 |
There is next to no chance Gregg Popovich allows Duncan to play enough minutes to reach value against the 76ers. Ezeli's price has caught up to his starting role, but his production hasn't.
