Brooklyn Nets DFS Spin
Nets star forward Kevin Durant will miss Sunday’s game with an MCL sprain in his right knee. Durant will likely be out until mid-February. Durant was leading the Nets in scoring before he went down, pouring in 29.7 points per game on 55.9% shooting from the field. Nets forward T.J. Warren is listed as probable for Sunday’s game as he had been dealing with a knee injury.
For DFS purposes, Brooklyn’s best option will likely be point guard Kyrie Irving on Sunday. Irving is coming off a 48-point performance in Brooklyn’s 117-106 road win over Utah on Friday. For the season, Kyrie Irving is averaging 26.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game while shooting 48.3% from the field and 36.2% from deep.
Golden State Warriors DFS Spin
Golden State small forward Anthony Lamb is questionable for Sunday’s game with a foot injury. Lamb is averaging 7.6 points per game in 20.1 minutes per contest for the Warriors this season.
If you need counting stats besides scoring, consider the Warriors’ Draymond Green for your DFS lineup. Green might be only averaging 8 points per game, but he makes up for it in other areas. Draymond Green is recording 7.1 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game this season. There might be some value in Green’s multi-category skill set on Sunday.

Nets vs. Warriors NBA Prediction
Brooklyn has had a lot of success playing at Golden State lately. The Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games played at Golden State against the Warriors. Another angle is how the Nets play after a double-digit win. Brooklyn is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an outright win of more than 10 points.
Some might be tempted to take the Warriors with Kevin Durant out of the lineup for the Nets. But Brooklyn has learned to play without their star player since he played his last game on January 8th. Since that game, Kyrie Irving has averaged 29.3 points per contest, and Nets center Nic Claxton has posted 15 points in 4 out of 5 games. I think there’s some value in taking the Nets without Kevin Durant, so I’ll fade the public and take Brooklyn and the points on the road.
