New York Knicks DFS Spin

Julius Randle hit 7-of-18 shots, 1-of-1 3-pointers, and 10-of-11 free throws for 25 points, five assists, seven rebounds, and two steals with five turnovers in a loss to the Blazers on Sunday. The No. 45 player in 9-cat leagues had another strong night featuring a pair of steals to go along with 25 points, seven rebounds, and five assists. Randle’s been awesome all year, and a big reason why the Knicks are a competitive group. His percentages have dipped recently, shooting below 39% in three of his last four games, but he's providing a ton of value rebounding and passing the ball. A year after placing outside the top-100, he appears to be a top-50 fantasy player for real.

Utah Jazz DFS Spin

Donovan Mitchell shot 9-of-18 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line in Saturday’s win over the Warriors, posting a line of 23 points, seven rebounds, six assists and three 3-pointers in 27 minutes. Two days after a rather awkward appearance on “Inside the NBA,” Mitchell put up another quality performance as the Jazz rolled to their eighth straight victory. After getting off to a slow start to begin the season, “Spida” has been a top-20 player in both 8- and 9-cat formats over the last week. He and the Jazz are rolling, and at this rate Mitchell may find himself in some MVP conversations before long.

Knicks vs. Jazz Betting Prediction

The Knicks are 12-3 against the spread in their last 15 games in Utah and have covered in 25 of their last 31 meetings with the Jazz overall?
