Sacramento Kings DFS Spin
Domantas Sabonis racked up 18 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and a steal Sunday in a 118-108 loss to the Grizzlies. Another typical day at the office for Sabonis, who provided his 26th double-double of the season, which is tied with Nikola Jokic for most in the Association. Sabonis is ranked 19th in per-game fantasy value this season thanks to elite rebounding, FG% and assists. Despite his lack of defensive stats typical for a big man, the fact that he’s one of the NBA’s best passing centers has given his fantasy value a major shot in the arm. We’d expect more of the same when Sacramento travels to Utah for a Tuesday night matchup with the Jazz.
Utah Jazz DFS Spin
Lauri Markkanen finished the year strong on Saturday as he put up 29 points (7-for-15 FGs, 12-for-12 FTs), 14 rebounds, one steal and three 3-pointers in a 126-123 loss to Miami. Despite the loss, Markkanen ended the year by putting up more incredible numbers. He has been even better lately, as he has nearly provided top five value over the past week. Unfortunately, it hasn’t translated to wins for the Jazz, as they’ve lost four straight games and fallen to 10th in the Western Conference. They’ll look to right the ship against the Kings on Tuesday, as they’ll try for revenge after losing by one point on Friday night.
