Sacramento Kings DFS Spin
Domantas Sabonis played 23 minutes in Saturday’s 119-113 win over the Heat, tallying 18 points (8-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, and one blocked shot. Sabonis was very good on the court Saturday evening, but that’s been his problem this season. Foul trouble reared its ugly head again, with the Kings’ starting center fouling out during Miami’s fourth-quarter rally. Sabonis has already fouled out twice this season, and he’s been whistled for at least four fouls in four of Sacramento’s five outings. He fouled out of three games (one post-trade to Sacramento) last season. Fantasy managers are hoping that Sabonis can get the foul issues in check as soon as possible.
Charlotte Hornets DFS Spin
LaMelo Ball (left ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Kings. Ball will miss another game and with Terry Rozier (ankle) listed as doubtful, Dennis Smith Jr. should remain the starting point guard for another night. If DSJ is available in your league, he’ll be a solid streaming option until Ball and/or Rozier returns. Theo Maledon will fill the backup role, but he is not worth adding.
