Washington Wizards DFS Spin
Bradley Beal finished Friday's 114-107 loss to the Hawks with 27 points (11-of-24 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes. Beal was one of four Wizards starters to score in double figures, but a 7-of-27 night from three spelled doom for the home team. Since scoring 15 points in a March 2 win over the Raptors, Beal has scored 21 or more in five straight games. The bad news: Washington has gone 1-4 in those games. He's been a 5th-round player over the last two weeks, with Beal sitting just inside the top 40 in season-long value. Kristaps Porzingis, who is closing in on 1st-round value, chipped in with 22 points, nine rebounds, one steal, two blocks, and three 3-pointers. Kyle Kuzma (17/5/3 with one 3-pointer), Daniel Gafford (13/8/2/0/1), and Delon Wright (10/2/5/3) also scored in double figures for Washington, which visits Philadelphia on Sunday.
Philadelphia 76ers DFS Spin
Joel Embiid shot 13-of-20 from the field and 13-of-18 from the foul line in Friday's 120-119 win over the Blazers, scoring 39 points with seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three blocked shots in 38 minutes. Embiid made the game's biggest play, as his turnaround jumper with 1.1 seconds remaining capped Philadelphia's comeback from a 21-point deficit. He's now scored 30 points or more in five straight and six of his last seven games and is now the top-ranked player in 9-cat, per-game value for the season. Embiid was the lone 76ers player to score at least 20 points in Friday's win, with James Harden (19/9/8 with two 3-pointers) and Tyrese Maxey (13/4/2/1 with one 3-pointer) being the other starters in double figures. Philadelphia caps its week with a game against the Wizards on Sunday, and they'll play three games in Week 21.
