Utah Utes DFS Spin
Luka Tarlac will be available at UCLA on Thursday, according to Josh Newman of The Salt Lake Tribune. An undisclosed problem prevented Tarlac from participating in Utah’s first two games of 2023. Fortunately for him, he is expected to play when the Utes compete against their best opponent scheduled across January.
UCLA Bruins DFS Spin
Amari Bailey (foot) is expected to miss UCLA’s games against Utah and Colorado this week, Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times reports. Bailey, who has missed the last three games with a foot injury, is expected to sit out for UCLA’s games on Thursday and Saturday this week. The 6-foot-5 freshman has started in 13 games this season, logging 9.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals on 26.1 minutes per game. David Singleton is likely to continue starting in the place of Bailey this week.
