Chicago Bulls DFS Spin
Zach LaVine (left knee injury management) is not on the injury report ahead of Friday’s game against the Celtics. LaVine played in both ends of Chicago’s Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back, so his absence from the injury report is good news. That being said, fantasy managers should expect the Bulls and LaVine to exercise caution for the foreseeable future. So long as he isn’t on the injury report, it will be business as usual for LaVine in fantasy hoops.
Boston Celtics DFS Spin
Marcus Smart hit 5-of-12 shots, a 3-pointer and 5-of-5 free throws on his way to a season-high 16 points, six rebounds and five assists in Wednesday’s tough overtime loss to the Cavaliers. The fact that Smart’s line was so good on the offensive end is impressive, considering he was chasing around either Darius Garland or Donovan Mitchell all night. This was his second game of the season without a steal and he’s racked up at least five assists in all but one game this season. He offers sneaky fantasy value.
