New York Knicks DFS Spin
Immanuel Quickley hit 3-of-8 shots and a 3-pointer for 11 points, a career-high 16 rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes of Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks. What? Quickley is a 6’3″ 190-pound point guard and his rebounds weren’t all that obvious if you were watching the game. It says more about the Hawks than it does Quickley. He hasn’t been worth rostering in most fantasy leagues thus far and while this line is likely a fluke, he’s at least worth keeping an eye on at this point.
Philadelphia 76ers DFS Spin
Joel Embiid (non-COVID illness) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Knicks. Embiid has missed Philadelphia’s last two games, and the unfortunate streak could reach three on Friday. The good news is that the All-Star center worked out at the team’s practice facility on Thursday. If Embiid has to miss another game, Philadelphia would be in a tough spot offensively. James Harden (foot) will miss the next month or so, meaning that even more will be asked of Tyrese Maxey and De’Anthony Melton (who sat out Wednesday’s loss to the Wizards due to back tightness). Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed haven’t been able to impact the 76ers’ rotation significantly, so neither is a guarantee to boost their production if Embiid sits.
