Where reality and fantasy diverge: Dwight Howard is the league's best big man by several statistical measures, but he's a liability in some fantasy formats.
Brook Lopez has been a disappointment this year but he's stepping up his game just in time for the fantasy playoffs. He's averaging 27.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.0 blocks over his last five games and is the second ranked center on this week's meter.
Big Al Jefferson has been on a shot blocking and rebounding tear for the Jazz. He's averaging 24.8 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.2 blocks over his last five games and is the top ranked center on this week's meter, ahead of Amare Stoudamire (pictured).
Unlike his veteran counterparts in San Antonio, Kevin Garnett is picking up the pace as the Celtics fight for home court advantage in the playoffs.
