Indiana Pacers DFS Spin
Buddy Hield notched 23 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes before fouling out of Sunday’s 109-106 loss to New York. Hield did his usual damage from beyond the arc in this one, scoring 15 of his 23 points from deep. He’s drilled three or more triples in nine straight contests, averaging 20.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists during this stretch.
Boston Celtics DFS Spin
Jayson Tatum (personal) isn’t listed on the Celtics’ injury report for Wednesday’s matchup against Indiana. Tatum wasn’t with the team for Sunday’s loss to Orlando for personal reasons, but he returned to practice Tuesday and appears good to go for Wednesday’s matchup. The MVP candidate shouldn’t face any limitations during his expected return to game action. Tatum is averaging 30.2 points and 8.2 rebounds in 37.0 minutes per game — all career highs.
