Boston Celtics DFS Spin
Jayson Tatum shot 14-of-21 from the field and 8-of-9 from the foul line in Saturday’s 126-120 win over the Magic, finishing with 40 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks, and four 3-pointers in 38 minutes. As good as Tatum was last season, he appears to have taken another step based on his play this week. He’s scored 29 points or more in each of Boston’s three victories, shooting 65% or better from the field in two of those wins. Yes, it’s extremely early, but it would not be a surprise if Tatum were to finish the season as a top-5 fantasy player and MVP candidate. The only negative for fantasy managers is the upcoming schedule, as the Celtics will only play three games next week.
Chicago Bulls DFS Spin
DeMar DeRozan was ejected during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game against the Cavaliers. DeRozan made his exit with 4:30 remaining after being assessed two technical fouls in quick succession. This capped a frustrating night for the All-Star, as he finished with 13 points (3-of-9 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 33 minutes. He’ll be back on the court Monday night when the Bulls host the Celtics
