Utah Jazz DFS Spin
Collin Sexton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Cavaliers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports. Sexton won’t be able to face his former team since he’s yet to recover from a nagging hamstring problem suffered earlier this month. He is in line to miss his sixth game in a row, and that should translate into an increased role for Nickeil Alexander-Walker. His next chance to feature will come Tuesday at the Pistons.
Cleveland Cavs DFS Spin
Caris LeVert posted four points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 38 minutes during Saturday’s 100-99 overtime win over the Mavericks. LeVert played 38 minutes off the bench but provided very few highlights, turning in one of his worst performances of the season. While he has been 12-team relevant at certain periods throughout the campaign, he is simply too inconsistent to warrant a permanent roster spot, especially when both Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell are healthy.
