Phoenix Suns DFS Spin
Mikal Bridges shot 10-of-18 from the field and 5-of-7 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 125-113 win over the Warriors, accounting for 26 points, nine rebounds, five assists, one steal, three blocks, and one 3-pointer in 40 minutes. With Chris Paul (hip), Deandre Ayton (ankle), and Devin Booker (groin) all sidelined, more was required of Bridges offensively. He rose to the challenge in San Francisco, surpassing the 20-point mark for the first time in five games. He joins Booker and Paul as a top 50 player in 9-cat formats. Phoenix is back in action Wednesday night in Denver, and they’ll need more of the same from Bridges. Given all that he already provides, increased scoring will enhance Bridges’ already-high fantasy value.
Denver Nuggets DFS Spin
Nikola Jokic didn’t miss a shot in Monday’s 122-109 win over the Lakers, going 5-of-5 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line to finish with 14 points, 11 rebounds, 16 assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 35 minutes. Jokic recorded his 11th triple-double of the season Monday night, and with the Lakers focusing much of their defensive efforts on slowing down the two-time MVP, other Nuggets did most of the shooting. But the Joker’s fingerprints were all over Monday’s game, from the rebounds and assists, to the fact that he didn’t miss a single shot. He’s the third player in NBA history to record a triple-double without missing a shot. Jokic is the top-ranked player in 9-cat formats over the last month, averaging 28.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 1.1 3-pointers per game.
