Phoenix Suns DFS Spin
Chris Paul (heel) is questionable for Friday’s contest against the Jazz, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports. Paul has sat out the Suns’ last four games due to right heel soreness and will come into Friday’s tilt with a questionable designation. Cameron Payne has filled Paul’s point guard spot in his absence and averaged an impressive 20.8 points and 6.0 assists across those four contests.
Utah Jazz DFS Spin
Kelly Olynyk totaled 27 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday’s 118-111 loss to the Knicks. If Olynyk could produce like this on a nightly basis, the Jazz could consider their Rudy Gobert problem solved. Of course, Olynyk’s numbers haven’t even come close to Tuesday’s line, and the team still weathers inconsistency in the frontcourt. Jarred Vanderbilt has helped out to fill the gap as well, but the defense in the paint still needs work.
