Miami Heat DFS Spin
Jimmy Butler bounced back on Wednesday with 27 points (11-for-22 FGs), four rebounds, four assists, three steals and two triples in a loss to the Lakers. After not doing much of anything on Monday, Butler was much better for the national TV matchup with the Lakers. Whether or not that was directly related is unknown, but managers were certainly much happier with his performance on Monday. He has been a top ten asset when he has played this season, but that, of course, hasn’t been the case consistently. The Heat don’t play another back-to-back until February 10th, so hopefully we’ll see Butler play consistently until then.
Phoenix Suns DFS Spin
Deandre Ayton dominated Cleveland on Wednesday as he put up 15 points (7-for-12 FGs), 18 rebounds, one assist and one steal in a 90-88 loss. Despite playing against the Cavs’ massive lineup, it was Ayton that ended up dominating the glass. He has struggled mightily over the last two games against Toronto and New York, but he was able to redeem himself with a solid night in the last game of their six game road trip. He has been a top-75 asset this season, with the majority of his value coming from rebounds and field goal percentage. However, he has had some big scoring nights too, though they haven’t come lately.
