Indiana Pacers DFS Spin
Buddy Hield finished Saturday’s 125-116 win over the Nets with 17 points (6-of-14 FGs), nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and five 3-pointers in 38 minutes. The 17 points are the fewest that Hield has scored in a game since October 22 vs. Detroit (six points), but the overall production was nothing to scoff at. He established a new season-high in assists while finishing one rebound shy of his season-best mark in that category. Hield has hit five 3-pointers or more in three straight games, with perimeter shooting being why his name shows up in so many trade rumors. So long as he remains a Pacer, Hield is a near-lock to hit the 30-minute mark.
Brooklyn Nets DFS Spin
Kevin Durant accounted for 26 points (8-of-20 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, three steals, four blocks, and one 3-pointer in Saturday’s loss to the Pacers. Durant didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, but he made up for the 40% night by racking up the defensive stats. The three steals and four blocks represent season-highs, as do the seven total defensive contributions. For the season, Durant’s still shooting over 50% from the field and 90% from the foul line, and he’s scored 30 or more in four of his six games. He’s well on his way to another top-10 fantasy season, with a shot at pushing his way into the top 5.
