Houston Rockets DFS Spin
Kevin Porter Jr. struggled on Sunday and only finished with just six points (3-for-12 FGs), three rebounds, four assists and a steal against the Cavaliers. KPJ has played really well as of late, providing top-40 value over the two weeks before this game. Unfortunately, that all came crashing down on Sunday, as he had one of his worst shooting performances of the season. The only time he had fewer points than he did in this game was when he played 10 minutes against the Kings in January, which led to him almost missing two months. With four games next week, he should be able to provide much better value than he did in this game.
New York Knicks DFS Spin
Jalen Brunson is questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Rockets due to a sprained right hand. Brunson sat Thursday against Orlando, but he’s got a chance to return against the Rockets following that one-game absence. If he’s ultimately ruled out for a second straight, Immanuel Quickley would likely remain in the starting five. IQ provided a loaded 25/5/7/2/1 line in his spot start against the Magic.
