Philadelphia 76ers DFS Spin
James Harden finished Sunday’s 119-112 win over the Knicks with 29 points (7-of-16 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), four rebounds, 13 assists, four steals, one block, and five 3-pointers in 43 minutes. Harden’s Christmas Day began with rumors of him entertaining a return to Houston should he not re-sign with the 76ers this summer and ended with another double-double in Philadelphia’s eighth straight win. The Beard, who recorded his 10th double-double of the season at MSG, is now fifth on the NBA’s Christmas Day list for most career assists (85). Like teammate Joel Embiid, the third quarter was Harden’s best, as he shot 3-of-6 from the field in the frame. Harden is providing 1st-round per-game value in 9-cat formats, and the eventual return of Tyrese Maxey will help as well. With Harden and Embiid clicking on all cylinders, Philadelphia looks like an East contender.
Washington Wizards DFS Spin
Kyle Kuzma finished Friday’s win over the Kings with 32 points (14-of-23 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 37 minutes. The second and third quarters were especially good for Kuzma, who made nine of his 14 field-goal attempts in those two periods. He finished the night with his fourth 30-point game of the season and second this month, with the first coming in a December 10 loss to the Clippers. That matches his total from the entire 2021-22 campaign. Kuzma deserves credit for the strides that he’s made and the timing, as he intends to try to cash in on this career season by opting out and entering free agency this summer. If this continues, he’ll be cashing out in July. Bradley Beal also had a good night, scoring 24 points (10-of-16 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs) with one rebound, four assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 34 minutes.
