Chicago Bulls DFS Spin
Goran Dragic (ankle) is probable to play in Friday’s matchup with the Knicks. Dragic will likely return Friday after missing Wednesday’s contest with left ankle soreness. The veteran point guard could receive extended minutes, with Alex Caruso (concussion) considered doubtful to play.
New York Knicks DFS Spin
Jalen Brunson finished Wednesday’s 113-106 loss to Toronto with seven points (3-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and 12 assists across 39 minutes. Brunson had topped 20 points in his four appearances prior to Wednesday’s matchup but was inefficient from the floor during the loss to the Raptors. However, he was effective as a distributor and posted his second-highest assist total of the season to prop up his fantasy production. Over 10 games since the start of December, he’s averaged 18.3 points, 6.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 31.3 minutes per game.
