Brooklyn Nets DFS Spin
Kyrie Irving shot 6-of-18 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Friday’s 118-100 win over the Bucks, scoring 18 points with nine rebounds, six assists, and three 3-pointers in 35 minutes. Irving was back in the lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Warriors due to tightness in his right calf. He struggled with his shot but hit a pull-up three with 3:07 remaining that slammed the door shut on the visiting Bucks. Irving’s providing top-15 per-game value in 9-cat formats, producing at a level many hoped he would reach before the season began. Backcourt partner Ben Simmons recorded a line of 12 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, and three steals in 28 minutes, playing well on both ends of the floor for the winners. He’s been an 8th-round player in 9-cat formats, and Simmons is capable of even more despite the lack of a perimeter shot.
Cleveland Cavs DFS Spin
Donovan Mitchell provided 12 points on 4-of-16 shooting and added five rebounds, four assists and three steals in Friday’s 118-107 loss to the Raptors. Mitchell’s three steals were a nice little treat, but otherwise, his final stat line left much to be desired. This was an ugly all-around game for Cleveland, so we’ll cut Spida some slack. Perhaps Toronto has his number, as his two lowest scoring games – 12 points on Friday and eight points back on November 28 – have come against the Raptors.
