Dallas Mavericks DFS Spin
Luka Doncic went off for 32 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds, two steals, two blocks and four triples in Saturday’s blowout win over Memphis. Doncic was absolutely electric in the first quarter, scoring 21 of his 32 points in just nine minutes. He ended the contest with a near triple-double that included solid defensive numbers and three-pointers. Had this one been closer, Doncic’s night could have been even bigger, but the Mavs wrapped this one up early, allowing him to take it easy late and log just 30 minutes. Doncic will be back in action Tuesday against the 2-0 Pelicans and Zion Williamson.
New Orleans Pelicans DFS Spin
Zion Williamson (bruised hip) is questionable for Tuesday’s game vs. the Mavericks. This implies that New Orleans has ruled out any serious injury after Zion’s scary fall during Sunday’s game. NBA fans can breathe a sigh of relief, though the ailment may still cost him a game or two. If he does miss time, expect Larry Nance Jr. and Jaxson Hayes to step up in the rotation.
