Atlanta Hawks DFS Spin

Trae Young (sprained left ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers. Young has been sidelined for a little more than a week, but he appears to be close to a return. Should the Hawks' starting point guard have to miss another game, Brandon Goodwin's fantasy value would increase. Kris Dunn made his Hawks debut Wednesday night but, given the amount of time that he's missed due to injury, it would be very difficult to count on him for anything as far as fantasy value is concerned.

Philadelphia 76ers DFS Spin

Joel Embiid scored 17 points on 7-of-16 shooting (2-of-2 FT) Wednesday, to go with seven rebounds, one assist, one 3-pointer, one steal, three blocks and one turnover in just 25 minutes of floor time in a blowout win over the Hawks. Embiid, who could be seen grabbing at his sore right shoulder throughout Monday’s game, didn’t seem to be all that bothered by the shoulder issue tonight, and he dominated his matchup with Clint Capela — helping hold him to just 4-of-13 shooting. With the win tonight, Philly locked up a playoff spot out East, joining the Nets as the only Eastern Conference teams to have clinched a postseason spot.
