Detroit Pistons DFS Spin
Cade Cunningham (left shin soreness) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Knicks. Cunningham struggled mightily in Wednesday’s loss to the Celtics and ultimately played 24 minutes due to the shin issue. If he cannot play on Friday, Jaden Ivey’s role would expand considerably, making him a quality DFS option. Killian Hayes would be in line for more playing time, but his fantasy upside is limited.
New York Knicks DFS Spin
Julius Randle logged 31 minutes in Wednesday’s 112-85 loss to the Nets, scoring 24 points (7-of-15 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs) with 11 rebounds, three assists, and four 3-pointers. The good news is that Randle posted his fifth double-double of the season and first since New York’s November 4 win over the Celtics. The bad news is that it didn’t matter, as the Knicks could not rebound from Brooklyn scoring 24 of the game’s first 32 points. Randle’s field-goal percentage has improved compared to his mark from a season ago (41.1%), but his rebounding and assist averages are slightly down. The decrease in assists is understandable due to Jalen Brunson’s presence, but Randle can provide more than 8.9 rebounds per night (as he did in Brooklyn). Threatening double digits in that category more consistently (he’s grabbed eight or more in four straight) would go a long way toward making Randle a top-100 player.
