Milwaukee Bucks DFS Spin
Damian Lillard shot 7-of-15 from the field and 12-of-12 from the foul line in Friday’s 110-105 win over the Knicks. He posted a line of 30 points, four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and four 3-pointers in 36 minutes.
In the three games after his 39-point effort in Milwaukee’s season-opening win over Philadelphia, Lillard shot a combined 13-of-35 from the field, scoring a total of 46 points. He looked more like his usual self on Friday, getting to his spots and leading the Bucks with 30 points scored. He and Giannis Antetokounmpo (22/8/6/0/1 with three 3-pointers in 36 minutes) led the way offensively, as one would expect. Still, they had a lot of help against the Knicks.
In total, six Bucks scored in double figures, including reserves Jae Crowder (14/6/2/1 with four 3-pointers) and MarJon Beauchamp (13/2/2 with three 3-pointers). But the Bucks will go as far as Lillard and Giannis take them. The two stars held up their end of the bargain on Friday.
Brooklyn Nets DFS Spin
Ben Simmons (back injury management) is not on the injury report for Monday’s game against the Bucks.
Simmons, who was held out of Saturday’s loss to the Celtics for injury management reasons, has been able to stay healthy thus far. He’ll be back in the lineup on Monday, which means a return to the bench for Royce O’Neale. O’Neale, who went 2-of-15 from the field against the Celtics, isn’t worth holding onto in most fantasy leagues.
