Boston Celtics DFS Spin
Jayson Tatum finished Monday’s 116-110 win over the Raptors with 31 points (11-of-24 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and five 3-pointers in 39 minutes. Tatum surpassed the 30-point mark for the 13th time this season on Monday while also extending his double-double streak to four games. He’s providing top-5 per-game value in 9-cat formats and has shown no signs of slowing down. The negative for fantasy managers who have Tatum rostered is he’ll only play two more times this week: Wednesday in Phoenix and Saturday at Golden State.
Phoenix Suns DFS Spin
Chris Paul (right heel soreness) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics. Paul has missed the Suns’ last 14 games, and it’s been a while since he was listed as questionable. Should he be cleared, Cameron Payne’s time as a valuable streamer would end. Fantasy managers with enough production on their roster to hold onto Payne for a game or two should do that, just in case Paul’s heel issue flares up.
