Paul George shot 14-of-19 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line in Thursday's win over the Spurs, scoring 35 points with four rebounds, seven assists, three steals, one block, and five 3-pointers in 35 minutes.  George was able to do much of what he wanted with little fuss Thursday night, as he recorded the full stat line without committing a single turnover. And Tyronn Lue's decision to go with Terance Mann at the point has benefitted George and those who have him rostered. Over the last two weeks, he's been providing top-20 value in 9-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long production. If there's a question in the short term it's the schedule, with the Clippers facing a road back-to-back against the Hawks and Cavaliers over the weekend. George did not play the back end of the team's most recent back-to-back, so fantasy managers need to be mindful of that when putting together lineups. 

Atlanta Hawks DFS Spin

Trae Young lit up his hometown team for 33 points (10-for-20 FGs), three rebounds, 11 assists, three 3-pointers and five turnovers in a 137-132 win over the Thunder on Wednesday. Trae finished with at least 30 points and 10 assists for the 58th time in his career on Wednesday, which ties Magic Johnson for 7th in NBA history. The three active players above him are LeBron James, James Harden and Russell Westbrook, so Trae, who is in his fifth season, appears to be on pace to pass them all. However, Oscar Robertson has the most in NBA history with 227. Harden is second with 100. The next player for Trae to pass is Jerry West, who reached those numbers 69 times in his career. It was a nearly flawless game for him, until two late turnovers that made the final score a little closer than it should've been.
