Boston Celtics DFS Spin
Marcus Smart (left hip contusion) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Kings. Smart was held out of Saturday’s loss to the Jazz, which was the second game of a back-to-back for the Celtics. With his return, Grant Williams will be headed back to the bench, where he’s nowhere near as valuable to fantasy managers.
Sacramento Kings DFS Spin
De’Aaron Fox accounted for 37 points (14-of-21 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and six 3-pointers in Monday’s 128-120 loss to the Jazz, playing 35 minutes. With Domantas Sabonis (11/12/9/1) shooting just 4-of-11 from the field, Fox had to do a little more of the heavy lifting offensively Monday night. And he was up to the task, shooting 66.7% from the field, and the 37 points are the most Fox has scored in a game since February 24 (42 vs. Clippers). And those 37 points are seven more than Fox’s total in the prior two games combined. He’s been a top 40 player in 9-cat formats over the last month, averaging 28.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.8 steals, and 2.3 3-pointers per game while shooting 55.2% from the field. Fox’s foul shooting has limited his fantasy value, but only slightly. He’ll look to lead the Kings to a win on Tuesday when they host the Celtics.
