Houston Rockets DFS Spin
Kevin Porter Jr. was huge for the Rockets on Monday, putting up 24 points (7-for-17 FGs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, four turnovers and four triples in a 132-123 win in double overtime. KPJ split a pair of free throws that allowed this game to go to a second overtime. He also blocked James Harden’s stepback shot at the end of regulation to force the first overtime. The young guards for Houston have struggled mightily with turnovers, but both of them shined late in this game to get their team the win over the former face of the franchise’s new team. KPJ’s efficiency has limited his category value this season, but he’s still great in points leagues.
San Antonio Spurs DFS Spin
Keldon Johnson scored 27 points on 11-of-23 shooting and added five rebounds, two assists and a steal in Saturday’s 133-95 loss to Phoenix. Johnson easily led his team in scoring and finished as the lone bright spot in an ugly, ugly loss. It was an encouraging performance from KelJo, as he shot just 27.9% from the field across his prior seven games and scored at least 20 points in that span. San Antonio only plays twice this week (against the Rockets on Thursday and Heat on Saturday), so if you’re conflicted on lineup choices, give special consideration to the Spurs’ light week. Johnson is far from a must-play in leagues that don’t allow daily lineup edits.
