NBA Top Weekly Performances - Centers, Final Edition

Serena Hays here, sitting in for TommyD on this final edition of NBA Top Centers.  With a few tips from The Man himself, I was able to narrow this week's top performers down to three.  I struggled with who to put in that third spot, however, and so I have an honorable mention at the bottom.  Let's see who helped you win that championship, here are this week's Top Centers:

Amare Stoudemire, PHO:  Amare may be playing at the four with Shaq on the court, but he still runs the post and he's excelled at it this season.  He's dominated every single center in the league at one time or another, and he's dominated this list.  Last week he averaged 29.3 points, eight rebounds, 2.5 assists, one steal, 1.5 blocks and 2.3 turnovers in 36.3 minutes.  Last year he came out to prove he could still ball after breaking his leg and it looks like that has become his mission.  He lit up fantasy scoreboards this season and helped the Suns clinch the 6th spot in the West.

Dwight Howard, ORL:  Dwight Howard is a monster, much on the same level as LeBron James.  He's just flat-out good at everything he does on the court, and this year he's led the Magic to the playoffs for the second consecutive season.  Last week he averaged 21 points, 14.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, one steal, one block and 3.3 turnovers in 36.3 minutes.  Howard, like Stoudemire, dominates the post and can dunk on anyone.  He helped many fantasy owners this season, and now he gets to keep helping Orlando in the post-season.

Mehmet Okur, UTH:  The Jazz have quietly had a great season, and that is partially thanks to the play of Mehmet Okur.  He's not loud or flashy like Dwight Howard, but he gets the job done and goes about his business.  Last week Okur averaged 20.3 points, 15.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.3 turnovers in 38.6 minutes.  Many people attribute Utah's success to Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams, but Okur has definitely played his part and he's done it well.  Fantasy owners who grabbed him off waivers and traded for him in January were not disappointed.

Honorable Mention:  Andris Biedrens of the Golden State Warriors.  Biedrens hasn't had a great season, but he hasn't had a horrible season either.  Last week he stepped it up a notch in an effort to push the Warriors past Denver and into the playoffs.  He averaged 13.8 points, 16.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 1.8 blocks and just 1.3 turnovers in 36 minutes.  He definitely helped out some championship teams this week.

That's it for the final edition of Top Centers.  Make sure you check out the other sections of Screaming Sports for the latest fantasy news!
