Oklahoma City Thunder DFS Spin
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was solid against Miami on Tuesday as he finished with 26 points (9-for-18 FGs), four rebounds, four assists, three steals, six turnovers and two threes in a 112-111 loss. Generally, the Heat are very good about forcing young guards into poor performances. For SGA, that means holding him under 30 points, which they did. That speaks to how good he has been all season long, as he has provided top five value over the past two months. The Thunder have slid down the standings, but they currently sit just two games out of the play-in tournament. SGA should be an All-Star, but if he can get the Thunder to play postseason basketball, there should be an All-NBA spot reserved for him.
Chicago Bulls DFS Spin
DeMar DeRozan (right quad strain) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Thunder. DeRozan is on track to miss a second consecutive game, which would keep Alex Caruso in the starting lineup. While a more than capable defender, Caruso isn’t the kind of player who will be able to duplicate what DeRozan provides offensively. He’s worth streaming as a starter, hoping the assists and defensive stats carry the day.
