Atlanta Hawks DFS Notes
Trae Young finished Saturday’s 121-117 loss in Phoenix with 31 points (10-of-23 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), four threes, 13 assists, two rebounds and five turnovers. Prior to the game, Young said he wanted to help Atlanta pick up the pace. “We’ve been playing kind of a lot more … half-court pace and slower pace,” he said. “With the guys we’ve got, the shooters we have and the guys who can make plays in transition, I think the faster we play, the better we can be.” Hawks coach Nate McMillan also urged Trae to push the tempo, but the fastbreak scoring will have to wait until another night — Atlanta scored a mere two points in transition.
Utah Jazz DFS Notes
Rudy Gobert double-doubled in Sunday’s narrow loss to Orlando with 21 points (7-of-9 FG, 7-of-8 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, three steals, four swats and four turnovers in 34 minutes. Gobert was limited to just eight points, eight rebounds and one block in a tough loss to Miami on Saturday, but he was back in his groove tonight, surpassing all those numbers by halftime. Coming into today’s game, The Stifle Tower had been averaging just 1.7 blocks a night, but we’d be shocked if he didn’t finish the year inside the top-5 in blocks per game. He bumped that average up to 1.9 after today’s performance, so perhaps this is a sign that he’s ready to start rolling as a shot-blocking dynamo again.
