Atlanta Hawks DFS Spin
Trae Young (right shoulder soreness) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors. Young, who was ejected from Monday’s loss to the Nuggets, should be available for Wednesday’s game. Should he be ruled out, Bogdan Bogdanovic could move back into the starting lineup after filling in for Young on Friday.
Toronto Raptors DFS Spin
OG Anunoby played 37 minutes in Monday’s 136-130 loss to the Knicks, accounting for 29 points (11-of-20 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and five 3-pointers. Four Raptors starters scored at least 20 points in Monday’s defeat, with Anunoby leading. The 29 points are a season-high, and Anunoby’s scoring has decreased by two points per game from a season ago. With the steals and free-throw percentage also dropping, he’s still ranked a few rounds behind his Yahoo ADP of 52.
The good news for Anunoby managers is that the gap between his ADP and actual ranking is not as large as Pascal Siakam’s. Spicy P, who remains ranked outside the top 100 in 9-cat value, finished Monday’s loss with 20 points, four rebounds, four assists, four steals, and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes. Toronto only plays two more games this week, as they host the Hawks on Wednesday and Friday.
