Orlando Magic Fantasy Spin

Jonathan Isaac scored just two points on 1-of-6 shots vs. the Kings on Monday, adding one rebound and one steal in 23 minutes. If he's not racking up defensive stats like he's capable of, he's not helping your fantasy team. Isaac has been one of the most frustrating players to own in fantasy and his blocks and steals are the only thing keeping his value afloat in category leagues.

Utah Jazz Fantasy Spin

Donovan Mitchell hit 8-of-24 shots for 26 points in Monday's 114-102 loss to the Bucks. Just when you thought he was turning a corner from an efficiency standpoint (he hit a combined 17-of-33 shots in his previous two games), Mitchell buries his owners in the FG% column once again. The rest of his line wasn't much better with three rebounds, one assist and seven turnovers, but at least he hit six triples. He's going to be running the offense a lot more if Ricky Rubio (hamstring) misses time, as he gets a 3% usage rate bump with Rubio off the floor and his assist percentage jumps up by 8%.
