Boston Celtics DFS Spin
Jayson Tatum shot 9-of-19 from the field and 4-of-6 from the foul line in Wednesday’s win over the Suns, scoring 25 points with five rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 29 minutes. The Celtics led by as much as 45 Wednesday night, so Tatum could enjoy the entire fourth quarter from the bench. He’s now scored 25 points or more in three straight and eight of his last nine games, except the December 2 loss to the Heat (14 points). Tatum is providing top-5 value in 9-cat formats, and while getting into the top spot may be too much to ask given Anthony Davis’s production, he still hasn’t reached his ceiling.
Golden State Warriors DFS Spin
Stephen Curry (left ankle soreness) will be available for Saturday’s game against the Celtics. Neither Curry nor Draymond Green made the trip to Salt Lake City for Wednesday’s game against the Jazz, as they stayed back in the Bay Area to rehab nagging injuries. Both will be available on Saturday, with Curry’s return pushing Jordan Poole back to the second unit. Poole should not be dropped in any league, given his importance to the Warriors’ rotation.
