Atlanta Hawks DFS Spin
Trae Young came through with a cold-blooded performance in Thursday’s 124-115 win over the Suns, tallying 43 points, six rebounds, five assists, one steal and four turnovers across 36 minutes. Ice Trae didn’t skip a beat in his return from a one-game absence, drilling his first four shots and only missing once from distance through the first quarter of play. This was his fourth, 40-plus-point performance of the season, and with the win, Atlanta was able to put an end to Phoenix’s 11-game win streak.
Toronto Raptors DFS Spin
Pascal Siakam ended with 25 points on 9-of-22 shooting, 13 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block in Thursday’s overtime win. Spicy P shot inefficiently but make no mistake about it, he was hot Thursday. Siakam averaged 21.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 3.3 stocks across his last 10 games, and he’s stepped up in a big way as a facilitator, rebounder, defender and scorer. He’s looking like someone who can provide early-round value the rest of the way.
