Charlotte Hornets DFS Spin
Terry Rozier (right ankle sprain) is considered doubtful to play against the Knicks on Wednesday. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) still yet to make his debut this season, Dennis Smith Jr. and Kelly Oubre should continue to start in the backcourt for Charlotte. DSJ is only rostered in 37% of leagues and should be considered a must-add until either Rozier or Ball returns. Hopefully it’ll be soon, since Rozier is listed as doubtful instead of out, but there doesn’t appear to be a real chance that he plays in this game.
New York Knicks DFS Spin
RJ Barrett scored 20 points to go with six rebounds and an assist in Monday’s win over Orlando. The 20 points were a season high, but it took Barrett 19 shot attempts to get there. Through three games, his numbers look oddly similar to those that we saw over his first three seasons, and the only difference now is that he’s being paid $107 million over the next four years for them. As long as Barrett is shooting this poorly and doing barely anything outside of scoring, he won’t be a playable fantasy option.
