Phoenix Suns DFS Spin
Devin Booker (strained left groin) will play on a minutes restriction against the Nets on Tuesday. After Monty Williams said that he expects Book to play, he said that he'll be on a minutes restriction, so it sounds like he'll definitely be available. Unless they follow suit with what the Clippers did with Kawhi Leonard and bring Book off the bench to ensure he's available to close the game, Torrey Craig will return to a role off the bench.
Brooklyn Nets DFS Spin
Nicolas Claxton recorded a double-double on Monday with 15 points (5-for-8 FGs), 16 rebounds, one assist, two steals and three blocks in a loss to the Clippers. Claxton continued his dominant play in this game. He has a very strong case to make an All-Defensive team and win one of Most Improved Player or Defensive Player of the Year. Others have stronger narratives for MIP, but Claxton's numbers have increased across the board dramatically, and he's one of the best rim protectors in the NBA after being an afterthought last season. He has been a top-20 asset in 9-cat leagues over the past two months despite horrendous free throw numbers. Clax has been incredible this season, and there's no reason to think that won't continue.
