Miami Heat DFS Spin
The Heat list Victor Oladipo (knee) as probable for Monday’s game against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Oladipo hasn’t experienced any reported setbacks since making his season debut Tuesday, so his inclusion on the injury report for the start of Miami’s four-game road trip is likely just precautionary. He’s essentially served as the Heat’s first guard off the bench in each of the past three contests, averaging 8.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 21.0 minutes while shooting 41.7 percent from the field. Expect him to maintain a similar role for as long as Gabe Vincent (knee) is sidelined.
Indiana Pacers DFS Spin
Tyrese Haliburton contributed 35 points (12-15 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine assists, three steals, one rebound and one block across 37 minutes during Saturday’s 136-133 loss to the Nets. Thanks to a career-high total from three-point range, Haliburton was able to sail to a new season-high mark in scoring. Saturday marked yet another well-rounded performance in what is becoming a breakout season for Haliburton, who is averaging career-bests in points (20.2 per game), assists (11.0), rebounds (4.3), three-pointers (2.9) and steals (1.8).
