Cleveland Cavs DFS Spin

Evan Mobley posted a double-double against the Grizzlies with 17 points (7-for-17 FGs), 14 rebounds, five assists, one steal and two blocks in a win on Thursday. Mobley may not be considered a snub for the All-Star Game, but he certainly has played like one as of late. Over the last two weeks, Mobley has nearly provided third round value, and he shined again on Thursday. In just his second season, Mobley has proven himself to be one of the more impactful defensive players in the league, and it translates into fantasy production across the board. He is slightly limited by poor free throw numbers and a lack of 3-pointers, but he has a fantasy friendly game. He hasn't played to his ADP of 40.7 this season, but he's made up for it with his play as of late.

Indiana Pacers DFS Spin

Tyrese Haliburton struggled against the Kings on Friday and finished with 10 points (4-for-12 FGs), four rebounds, nine assists, three steals and two 3-pointers. In his first two games against his former team, Haliburton struggled to get his shot going, which continued in his third matchup against them. He has now shot 12-for-39 (30.8%) in his three game against the team that drafted him. Unlike the first two games, Haliburton's team was able to secure the victory for the first time since he was traded. Hali was named an All-Star for the first time in his career, but he wasn't able to perform like the fantasy superstar that he has been this season.
