Cleveland Cavs DFS Spin
Donovan Mitchell accumulated 20 points (7-of-17 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, and one steal in Friday’s 117-94 win over the Wizards, playing 26 minutes. Mitchell had a rough night shooting the basketball, going 0-of-7 outside of the paint (0-of-6 3-pointers). He still managed to hit the 20-point mark for the fourth straight game, and Cleveland didn’t need much production from Mitchell in the fourth quarter. He’s been a top-50 player in 9-cat formats over the last two weeks and remains a top-20 player for the season. Mitchell and the Cavaliers will get a few days off now, as they won’t play again until Tuesday against the Nets. That’s the first of three games Cleveland will play in Week 22, with two coming on the road in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn Nets DFS Spin
Spencer Dinwiddie provided solid value on Sunday with eight points (3-for-6 FGs), two rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and one 3-pointer against Denver. Dinwiddie has become an incredibly consistent source of dimes as the starting point guard for the Nets. He has recorded double digit assists in four of his last five games, which includes his career-high 16 assist game last Sunday. That has allowed him to average 11.2 assists per game during this five-game stretch. Unfortunately, he hasn’t had the scoring of field goal percentage to match that production lately, which has kept him outside the top-100 over the past two weeks.
