Golden State Warriors DFS Spin
Andrew Wiggins (illness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Nuggets. Wiggins has missed Golden State’s last two games, with the Warriors accounting for his absence in different ways. While Cory Joseph played rotation minutes in Tuesday’s win over Boston, he did not on Saturday when the Warriors beat Portland. Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski have passed the struggling Wiggins in the pecking order recently, with the former moving into the starting lineup.
Denver Nuggets DFS Spin
Aaron Gordon (right heel strain) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (cervicothoracic strain) are probably to play against Golden State on Monday. Gordon and KCP are dealing with injuries, but it shouldn’t prevent them from playing on Christmas Day. Both players should continue to start and play big minutes as the defending champions look to look to defend home court for the holidays.
