New York Knicks DFS Spin
Jalen Brunson tallied 23 points (9-of-18 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes during Monday’s 140-134 loss to the Timberwolves. After going through a stretch in which he missed five of six with a sore left foot, Brunson has played 32 and 37 minutes in his first two games back. His not experiencing any lingering soreness is more important than the stats, even though Brunson has remained productive. He’s shot 18-of-38 from the field and 8-of-8 from the foul line in his last two, posting totals of 47 points, four rebounds, 15 assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers. New York will only play twice more in Week 22, a Wednesday/Thursday road back-to-back against the Heat and Magic. A sweep of those games would essentially ensure the Knicks of avoiding the play-in tournament, so having a healthy Brunson will be key.
Miami Heat DFS Spin
Kyle Lowry (left knee soreness) has been upgraded to available to play against Detroit on Sunday. Lowry is back in the lineup after sitting out the first leg of a back-to-back on Saturday. Since returning to the lineup, Lowry has come off the bench and hasn’t been able to provide much fantasy value, as he has been outside the top-150 in 9-cat scoring.
