Portland Trail Blazers Fantasy Spin

C.J. McCollum had a tough time offensively Monday vs. the Jazz, scoring 14 points (6-of-17 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs) with four rebounds, four assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes. After shooting a combined 15-of-25 from the field in the two games prior, McCollum shot just 35.3% from the field Monday night. Since scoring 30 points in Portland’s January 11 win over the Hornets, a game in which he shot 12-of-20 from the field, the sixth-year guard has shot 37% or worse from the field in three of his last five outings. A top-75 player in 9-category leagues over the last two weeks, McCollum’s shooting 50% from the field during that stretch.

Oklahoma City Thunder Fantasy Spin

Russell Westbrook finished one assist shy of a triple-double vs. the Knicks on Monday, scoring 17 points with 10 rebounds, nine assists, one triple and three turnovers in 29 minutes. The Thunder took care of business early which kept every starter under 31 minutes except for Jerami Grant. RWB entered Monday's game hitting 41.4% from the field and 64.2% from the line, so his fantasy owners will be relieved he had a strong showing today (6-of-12 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs). Those percentage categories and turnovers (4.5) are the reason why he's sitting outside the top-50 in standard leagues, but he shoots up the ranks when you punt one or two of those.
