Milwaukee Bucks DFS Spin
Giannis Antetokounmpo had a strange night on Wednesday as he finished with just seven points on 3-for-10 shooting but added 18 rebounds, 10 assists and one block in a 114-105 win over Atlanta. Giannis recorded just the fourth rebound-assist double-double this season. Alex Caruso has one, while Draymond Green has the other two. Factor in the poor shooting as well, and Draymond may as well have filled in for Giannis. He was aggressive in this game, since you have to be to haul in 18 rebounds, but he wasn’t aggressive in looking for his shot. He took his second fewest shot attempts this season and his fewest free throw attempts of the year, making just one of four. They play in Miami on Thursday, so hopefully he’ll be more dominant in that one.
Miami Heat DFS Spin
Bam Adebayo (right wrist contusion) is listed as probable for Thursday’s matchup with the Bucks. Down four of their usual starters on Tuesday, the Heat squeaked out a win because of their historic night from the line, but they missed Bam greatly. He should be back Thursday, which means they won’t have to rely on Orlando Robinson or Jamal Cain to play big minutes.
