Toronto Raptors DFS Spin

Fred VanVleet struggled mightily on Tuesday as he finished with three points (1-for-11 FGs), six rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in a win over Chicago. After missing Toronto's first three games after the All-Star break, VanVleet was back in the lineup on Tuesday. Unfortunately, he couldn't buy a bucket. He didn't have a bad game, as he provided value in other categories and didn't even turn the ball over. He just couldn't hit a shot. VanVleet has provided second-round value this season despite shooting below 40% from the floor, but he won't shoot this poorly very often. He should bounce back against Washington on Thursday.

Washington Wizards DFS Spin

Bradley Beal lit up the Hawks on Tuesday for 37 points (17-for-30 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in a 119-116 victory. Two seasons ago, this would've been an average night for Beal. While this was his fifth 30-point game of the month, it is also a new season-high for him. Beal has reached new levels of efficiency, as he is shooting over 50% for the first time in his career. Unfortunately, he's also having one of his worst scoring seasons since 2016. He has been a top-50 fantasy asset, but that's pretty disappointing after back-to-back top-15 seasons two years ago. Washington will need more games like this from him if they want to make it to the postseason.
