Miami Heat DFS Notes
Victor Oladipo (right lower back spasms) has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the 76ers. Oladipo will miss another game with back spasms, but there’s really no reason for the Heat to rush him back. They’d love to have him for the playoffs fully healthy, and they have the best record in the East by three games. Max Strus and Caleb Martin should see some extra minutes with Oladipo sidelined.
Philadelphia 76ers DFS Notes
Joel Embiid had an ugly shooting night going 6-of-20 from the floor (0-of-3 3-pointers) but he did grab 13 rebounds to go with two assists, one steal, and one block, but the Sixers lost to the Raptors 93-88 on Sunday night. The Raptors have always done a decent job on Embiid throughout the years and they did so again in this one. Now hey if a bad night is 21 and 13, then you know you are having an outstanding season. Embiid shot 9-of-11 from the free-throw line and only turned it over once, so aside from the efficiency, it was a good night for the big fella.
