Los Angeles Clippers DFS Spin

Kawhi Leonard shot 13-of-22 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line in Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs, tallying 30 points, three rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, one blocked shot and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes. With Paul George being a late scratch due to an ankle injury, Leonard was left to do much of the heavy lifting offensively. Result aside he had a very good game, shooting better than 50% from the field while not turning the ball over at all. Fantasy managers in leagues that use assist-to-turnover ratio should be thrilled with Leonard’s stat line. However there is a negative: Tuesday’s game was the first of a back-to-back for the Clippers, so don’t be surprised if Leonard sits Wednesday night.

Golden State Warriors DFS Spin

Stephen Curry kept his hot streak going on Monday, tallying 30 points (9-of-18 FG, 7-of-7 FT), nine boards, eight dimes, five trey-bombs and two turnovers in a 137-106 win over the Kings. Prior to this season, Curry’s career-average in FTA per game was 4.1, but in the small sample size of the first seven games of the 2020-21 season he’s been getting to the line a career-high 8.0 times a night, while converting on a ridiculous 98.2% of those attempts. If he can keep that up, it’ll help boost his scoring averages, and we don’t see any reason why those numbers would suddenly decline. The only knock we can give Curry during this recent torrid streak is that he’s failed to snatch a single steal over the past three games, but we doubt that trend will continue much longer.
