Utah Jazz DFS Notes
Rudy Gobert pulled down 18 rebounds over 36 minutes on Sunday, adding 12 points, three assists, one steal and one turnover in a loss to the Warriors Gobert’s left ankle didn’t seem to give him any issues tonight, but it’s still possible that the Jazz could take a cautious approach and rest him on the second leg of this back-to-back on Monday in Phoenix. If he does need a maintanence day, that would benefit Rudy Gay and Eric Paschall. Gay finished Sunday’s game with 16 points, five rebounds, four triples and one block over 18 minutes; while Paschall contributed six points, three rebounds and one 3-pointer in 12 minutes off the bench.
Phoenix Suns DFS Notes
Deandre Ayton (right ankle sprain) is doubtful for Monday’s game against the Jazz. Ayton appears poised to miss another game, which will keep JaVale McGee in the starting lineup. While McGee is worth streaming while starting, Bismack Biyombo is also worth rostering. In addition to grabbing 13 rebounds in Saturday’s win over the Pacers, he tied his career-highs in points (21) and assists (five). Biyombo and McGee will both have value, as the Suns will need to match up with Utah’s Rudy Gobert.
