North Carolina Tar Heels DFS Spin
Caleb Love had 18 points (6-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Saturday’s 81-64 win over Notre Dame. Love had two games to forget against Pittsburgh and Wake Forest, tallying a combined 14 points on 6-for-24 from the field in those games, but he bounced back admirably here even if the shooting woes are persistent. The high volume of field goals per game is saving Love right now, but he’s still managed to score at least 17 points in four of his last six appearances.
Virginia Cavaliers DFS Spin
Armaan Franklin contributed 16 points (4-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday’s 73-66 win over Syracuse. Franklin had a rough shooting performance, but he still delivered a solid stat line. He tied his season-high mark in rebounds and also scored in double digits for the fifth time over his last six outings. He’s averaging 11.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game since the start of December.
