Tennessee Vols DFS Spin
Zakai Zeigler logged 22 points (7-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 assists, three rebounds and two steals across 37 minutes during Tennessee’s 82-71 win Saturday versus Texas.Tyreke Key sat out physically ill when Tennessee played at Mississippi State on Jan. 17. Ziegler was part of the Volunteers’ starting lineup instead. Despite logging five turnovers, he scored 24 points across his game started that day. Key was available when the Vols were at Louisiana State on Jan. 21. But since that date, Ziegler has been a regular part of their starting lineup. He averaged 15.0 points and recorded two double-doubles across his first three games after Key’s brief absence.
Florida Gators DFS Spin
Colin Castleton ended with 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 34 minutes during Saturday’s 64-50 loss to Kansas State. Despite starting all 21 games this season for the Gators with a presumed clean bill of health, Castleton’s numbers are down a bit to 14.9 ppg and 7.6 rpg from averages of 16.2 and 9.0, respectively, a season ago. Not much has changed other than a big shift at point guard, as Castleton’s shooting percentages are still relatively in line with last year’s marks. Despite the slight downturn in production, Castleton remains one of the elite centers in the SEC and should continue to be deployed in all season-long formats.
