Detroit Pistons DFS Spin
Cade Cunningham played 30 minutes in Wednesday’s 129-111 loss to the 76ers, accumulating 21 points (5-of-17 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, and one 3-pointer.
Cunningham had a tough night shooting the basketball, making one of his eight 3-point attempts and shooting 29.4% from the field overall. If there was a positive for fantasy managers to take away from this outing, he only committed one turnover. That has been an issue for Cunningham, as he entered Wednesday averaging 4.3 turnovers per game. He’s had three or fewer in four of Detroit’s five games in December, so strides are being made. Until he consistently takes care of the basketball, Cunningham will have difficulty approaching his Yahoo ADP of 36 in 9-cat formats.
Philadelphia 76ers DFS Spin
Joel Embiid played 31 minutes in Wednesday’s 129-111 win over Detroit, amassing 41 points (14-of-24 FGs, 12-of-12 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer.
Two nights after he ran roughshod on the Wizards, Embiid took advantage of another struggling team on Wednesday. The reigning MVP, who did not play at all in the fourth quarter, has scored 34 or more in three straight and four of his last five games. And things should only get better for Embiid, as the 76ers will finish their Week 8 slate with another game against the Pistons on Friday and a matchup with the Hornets the following night. As long as he remains healthy, the MVP should feast, much to the delight of managers who have him rostered.
