Los Angeles Clippers DFS Spin
Kawhi Leonard (rest) will not play against the Pistons on Monday. With the Clippers playing a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday, they’ll rest Kawhi on Monday to make sure he’s ready to play against Toronto on Tuesday. Amir Coffey and Terance Mann should see increased roles in Leonard’s absence.
Detroit Pistons DFS Spin
Bojan Bogdanovic shot 8-of-20 from the field and 5-of-5 from the foul line in Friday’s loss to the Hawks, scoring 23 points with three rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 29 minutes. Bogdanovic again led the Pistons in scoring, but the Hawks did a good job of making him work for those 23 points. While he remains Detroit’s highest-ranked player in 9-cat formats, Bogdanovic’s lack of production in categories outside of points, rebounds, and 3-pointers essentially relegates him to being a mid-round player and nothing more. One Piston (besides Bogdanovic) worth investing in is Killian Hayes, who’s rostered in 65% of Yahoo leagues. He played 31 minutes, tallying 17 points (7-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer. With Cade Cunningham (shin) done for the year, Hayes will have every opportunity to show that he should be a long-term piece in Detroit.
