San Antonio Spurs DFS Spin

Doug McDermott shot 3-of-3 from three in Monday's 147-127 loss to the Blazers, scoring 17 points (5-of-7 FGs) with one rebound and one steal in 17 minutes. Points and threes. That's what you'll get from McDermott when he's on, as was the case in Portland Monday night. The 17 points are the most he's scored in a game since November 23, when he put up 21 in a win over the Pelicans. McDermott's ranked outside the top 200 in 9-cat over the last two weeks and is barely within the top 300 for the season. For him to be of any value to fantasy leagues, he will need a change of scenery before the trade deadline.

Los Angeles Clippers DFS Spin

Kawhi Leonard tallied 25 points (11-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 133-115 win over the Lakers. Leonard is in a groove, scoring 25 points or more in eight straight games. Over the last two weeks, he's averaging 28.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 2.0 3-pointers per game, shooting 56.9% from the field and 90.3% from the foul line. That's good for top 10 value in 9-cat formats, and he's closing in on the top 25 in season-long value. Leonard's availability is the one concern, especially with a Saturday/Sunday (at Atlanta, at Cleveland) back-to-back on the horizon.
