Miami Hurricanes DFS Spin
Nisine Poplar totaled 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Tuesday’s 86-63 victory over Florida State. While Poplar owned the lowest mpg and usage rate among Miami starters over the team’s five games entering Tuesday, he’s still been a consistent figure in the starting lineup, which he’s been part of in all 20 games of the 2022-23 season. The sophomore did put up his highest scoring total of ACC play Tuesday and will continue to be a “glue guy” for the Canes as conference play presses forward.
