Miami Heat DFS Spin
Tyler Herro (left ankle sprain) is not traveling with the Heat for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors. Herro has missed Miami’s last four games, and he’ll miss at least one more. That means Max Strus will remain in the starting lineup, and he’s been a top 75 player in 9-cat, per-game value over the last week. Strus is still rostered in 57% of Yahoo leagues, meaning that managers in more casual leagues need to grab him off the waiver wire.
Toronto Raptors DFS Spin
Fred VanVleet (non-COVID illness) is considered questionable for Wednesday’s game against Miami. FVV has missed two games in a row, and if it ends up being a third, Dalano Banton should retain the starting role. Banton starred on Monday night with a career-high 27 points to go with three steals and two blocks. Banton is still only rostered in 3% of leagues and should be considered a must-add if VanVleet remains sidelined for another game.
