Denver Nuggets DFS Spin
Nikola Jokic once again recorded a triple-double on Tuesday with 25 points (11-for-15 FGs), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in a 99-98 win over the Pelicans For the fourth straight game, and the sixth time in his last seven games, Jokic recorded a triple-double. Jokic now sits at a season average of 9.9 assists, which is not only a career-high, but it means he is very close to averaging a triple-double over the course of the season. He missed their last two games with hamstring tightness, which resulted in Denver’s winning streak ending. However, they still sit in first place in the Western Conference and now have a 2.5 game lead over the second place Grizzlies.
Milwaukee Bucks DFS Spin
Giannis Antetokounmpo made his return on Monday and dominated the Pistons for 29 points (8-for-15 FGs, 11-for-17 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists and two threes in a 150-130 win. After averaging 12.7 points over the last three games before missing five games with knee soreness, Giannis scored 15 points in the first six minutes and 20 points in the first quarter. He made it known quickly that he’s feeling healthier, but the score ended up being so lopsided that he only played 27 minutes wasn’t able to finish the monster night. He was far more aggressive than he was in his three previous appearances, so the days off seem to have helped his knee a lot. He should have more performances like this in store, as opposed to some of the single digit performances he has had lately.
