Top NBA Plays Tuesday February 15th| Center Value

We've got 7 games on tap tonight in NBA DFS with the biggest theme being center value. Sure Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns are in action, but there are a few $5k-$6k centers that could easily put up just as many points.

We try not to get to "center-centric" in our prop bet section but there's some really good value there tonight and you just can't pass it up.

Let's see who out there that is under 6'10" can round out our card:

🏀Top 5 Player Props February 15th 🏀

LineStar has a new Player Prop tab that lets you search the best individual props through apps such as DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, and PointsBet. Here are some of the best bets for tonight:

🏀Bam Adebayo (Over 10.5 rebounds) - He has 11+ rebounds in 6 of the last 8 and although Dallas is solid vs. the center they have also allowed 10+ to 3 of the last 5 big men including 15 to Isaiah Stewart last Wednesday. Adebayo had 13 boards vs. Dallas in November.

🏀Bobby Portis (To record a double-double = Yes) +240 for a Portis double-double against an Indiana team that has allowed 13, 14, 12, 17, and 17 rebounds to the last five C's they've faced. BP has 12+ fg attempts in five straight and the Bucks could be resting Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) again - or at least limit his minutes.

🏀Deandre Ayton (Under 8.5 rebounds) - Phoenix is a -13 point favorite and also plays Houston tomorrow night. No sense burning up Ayton minutes and the Suns big man has five single-digit rebound games in the seven since returning on February 1st. 9 rebounds by Dwight Powell is the most LAC has given up the last four games.

🏀Buddy Hield (Over 3.5 three pointers made) - Hield shot 13 three-pointers on Sunday - he only made one but he still kept shooting. The Bucks are likely getting Giannis Antetokounmpo back tonight which means they could blowout the Pacers. That means more three attempts, which is why Milwaukee leads the league in allowing 14.1 opponent three's per game.

🏀Clint Capela (Over 12.5 rebounds) -That number is huge but Capela has also grabbed 14 and 23 rebounds in two games against Cleveland this season. He saw a nice minutes increase Sunday with John Collins out and responded with 17 boards.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Cavs @ Hawks (-1) O/U 219.5 7:30 ET

The Hawks are on a 1-4 stretch and scored just 95 points on Sunday in their first game without John Collins (heel) who looks like he'll be out until the end of the month. Bogdan Bogdanovic had 28 vs. Boston, but he's also questionable (ankle) vs. a Cleveland team that has won 4 of 5.

Mavericks @ Heat (-3.5), O/U 209 7:30 ET

Luka Doncic has back to back 75+ fp games (48 real points/game) since the Kristaps Porzingis trade but does that take a hit with the debut of Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans? Tyler Herro (knee) is out and Jimmy Butler (shoulder) is questionable as Miami goes for a sixth straight win.

Celtics (-3) @ Sixers O/U 210 7:30 ET

Boston has won 10 of 11 but they still seem like a somewhat strange -3 point road favorite at Philadelphia. The 76ers are still waiting on the debut of James Harden who won't play until after the all-star break and Philadelphia is just 3-3 over their last 6 so maybe the C's do get this one.

Pacers @ Bucks (-12.5) , O/U 234 8:00 ET

Milwaukee is on the back to back following a 122-107 loss to Portland last night as -11.5 favorites. The Bucks played without Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) who is questionable tonight, but he might just want to rest against a Pacers squad that 0-for-February so far (0-6). Jrue Holiday has gone for 47 fp in his last four games vs the Pacers - but that was also against his brother Aaron who just got traded to Phoenix.

Hornets @ Timberwolves (-6.5), O/U 244.5 8:00 ET

Have to have some targets here with that 244 betting total. The Hornets have allowed 118+ in four straight and the T'Wolves have allowed 120+ their last three. Karl-Anthony Towns gets the matchup vs. Hornets bigs which we all like attacking.

Grizzlies (-4.5) @ Pelicans, O/U 228.5 8:00 ET

The Pelicans pulled off a pretty impressive 120-90 win over Toronto last night which allowed Brandon Ingram and others to sit out the 4th quarter in preparation for the back-to-back against Memphis. It's still a tough matchup vs. a Grizzlies squad that has won 5 in a row, scoring 120+ in each of those.

Clippers @ Suns (-13), O/U 223.5 10:00 ET

Blowout potential here with Phoenix a -13 point favorite. The Clippers did just beat Golden State 119-104 behind 25 points from Terance Mann, but it's a hard ask to beat the top two teams in the NBA on consecutive nights.

Tonight's Point Guard / Shooting Guard Notables

LaMelo Ball DK $9.1k | FD $8.7k @ Minnesota

  • PGs are abusing Minnesota lately: De'Aaron Fox 27/8/3, Ayo Dosunmu 14/4/10, and Tyrese Haliburton 22/5/16 the last three

  • Lamelo with 25+ real points in three straight, dished out 12 assists Friday vs. the Pistons

  • Crazy 244 betting total

  • 60+ fp last three road games

Jrue Holiday DK $7.7k | FD $8.3k vs. Indiana

  • Has a nice history vs. Indiana (47 fp floor in 5 of last 6) was that just because his brothers were playing for the Pacers?

  • Indiana has allowed 38+ fp to 4 of past 5 PGs

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) sitting here would be nice too

Lance Stephenson DK $4k | FD $5.1k @Milwaukee

  • Worse plays out there for the price, has 15+ shots in 2 of last 3

  • No Duarte for Indiana, also possible Bucks blowout even on back to back

Tonight's SF / PF Notables

Marcus Morris DK $6k | FD $5.7k @Phoenix

  • Shouldn't face a ton of defensive resistance if the Suns run away with this one as -13 point favorites

  • Plays well vs. Phoenix for whatever reason, 24/11 on December 13th and 26/8 on January 6th.

  • Played a manageable 27 minutes last night

Buddy Hield DK $6k | FD $6k @ Milwaukee

  • Are we about to see "Oklahoma Buddy"? 40 minute and 18 shot average in first two games with the Pacers

  • Shot 1-13 from three on Sunday, performance isn't great but attempts are

  • Chris Duarte (toe) being out tonight can only help Hield's usage

Cedi Osman DK $4.3k | FD $4.3k @ Atlanta

  • He won't get the minutes, but the matchup is solid with the Hawks giving up 35+ fp to five straight SFs

  • Atlanta defense is last vs. SFs over past 20 games allowing 22/6/3

Tonight's Center Position Notables

Steven Adams DK $5.8k | FD $6.9k @ New Orleans

  • Ended up hitting 6X in his only other game vs. his former team New Orleans back in November

  • Grizzlies averaging just shy of 130 ppg (129.4) over their last five so there's plenty to go around

  • Adams has 6X DK price in three of last four

  • Had 31 minutes on Sunday with John Collins out and responded with 17 rebounds
