Virginia Cavaliers DFS Spin
Reece Beekman ended Saturday’s 74-56 victory over Georgia Tech with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 27 minutes. Beekman averaged 6.2 points and 4.8 assists across his last five games of 2022. Though adequate, he is expected to be better during January. The junior averaged 11.8 points and 5.2 assists across November. If continually healthy, Beekman is expected to not have output problems much during 2023.
Pittsburgh Panthers DFS Spin
Jamarius Burton accumulated 31 points (14-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Friday’s 76-74 victory over North Carolina. The Panthers pulled a huge upset Friday against the Tar Heels and Burton was one of the big reasons why that happened, as he carried the team offensively while missing just three of his 17 field goal attempts. Burton is having a career-best season so far and is averaging 15.8 points with 5.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. All three are career-best figures for the senior.
