Los Angeles Clippers DFS Spin
Kawhi Leonard returned from a six game absence on Monday and put up 16 points (7-for-15 FGs), six rebounds, two assists and one turnover in 28 minutes in a 119-117 win over the Hornets. What a statement to hit the game-winning shot in his return to the floor. Kawhi didn’t put up great numbers in his return, but it’s only his sixth game of the season after missing all of last season. Still, it’s always good to see him back out on the court. Hopefully he’ll be able to stay on the floor over the next few games to re-establish a rhythm. He hasn’t had anywhere near his best game yet, but we know how good he can be. We just need him on the court.
Miami Heat DFS Spin
Jimmy Butler (return to competition conditioning) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Clippers. Butler sat out Tuesday’s loss to the Pistons, with Max Strus replacing him in the starting lineup. Strus didn’t have the best showing, scoring 11 points with three 3-pointers, but he would be worth slotting into lineups if given another start.
