Denver Nuggets DFS Spin
Nikola Jokic (right calf tightness), Aaron Gordon (right shoulder inflammation) and Michael Porter Jr. (left heel injury management) are all questionable to play against Utah on Saturday. None of their starting five played in their last game, and that trend will likely continue on Saturday, since they have locked up the top seed in the West. Bruce Brown, Peyton Watson and DeAndre Jordan started in the frontcourt on Thursday with Jeff Green and Zeke Nnaji also playing solid roles off the bench.
Utah Jazz DFS Spin
Lauri Markkanen (left hand contusion) and Rudy Gay (low back soreness) will remain sidelined for Saturday’s matchup with the Nuggets. Luka Samanic has been the starting power forward with Markkanen and Gay sidelined. He signed a deal through next season on Thursday and should continue to be a reliable option over their final two games. Simone Fontecchio and Juan Toscano-Anderson should play decent roles off the bench as well
