Indiana Pacers DFS Notes
Malcolm Brogdon (illness) will play on Wednesday vs. the Nuggets, as expected. He’s back in action after a two-game stint on the sidelines, so he should see his usual minutes with the starters, which will result in less run for T.J. McConnell. Feel free to get him active.
Utah Jazz DFS Notes
Donovan Mitchell hit 11-of-20 shots and five 3-pointers for 27 points, three rebounds, five assists, three steals and just one turnover in Tuesday’s easy 110-98 win over the Hawks. Mitchell played at a high level tonight while Bojan Bogdanovic added 18 points, Jordan Clarkson had 16 and four 3-pointers, Royce O’Neale added 11 points, five boards, four assists and a 3-pointer, Hassan Whiteside had 10 points, nine boards and a block, and Rudy Gobert finished with nine points, 14 rebounds, two steals and two blocks in the win. They’ll all look to keep it going in Indy on Thursday night.
