Los Angeles Clippers DFS Spin
Kawhi Leonard (non-COVID illness) is not on the injury report for Thursday’s matchup with Denver. Kawhi missed their last game with an illness, but it’ll only hold him out for one game. Kawhi hasn’t been an elite fantasy asset this season, but he has provided third round value over the last two weeks. He’s slowly rounding into form, though the occasional rest/nagging injury absences are certainly a pain for fantasy managers. With Paul George questionable, Kawhi could see an increased offensive load against Denver. If PG plays, Terance Mann will return to a role off the bench.
Minnesota Timberwolves DFS Spin
Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 32 points (11-for-26 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists and three triples in a 113-106 win over Portland on Wednesday. Ant’s scoring tear continued against the Blazers on Wednesday. Over the past three weeks, he has posted top-30 value while averaging 28.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.8 threes per game. He has shrugged off a slow start to the season and is now inside the top-50 in season-long value. Unfortunately, with the number of injuries and fit issues they’ve had, they’re nowhere near as high up in the standings as they imagined they’d be at this point of the season.
