Toronto Raptors DFS Spin
Gary Trent (quadriceps) is questionable to play in Friday’s matchup with the Cavaliers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports. Trent is questionable to miss his fifth straight game due to left quadriceps soreness. He will have extra time to heal for Tuesday’s game versus the Clippers if he can’t go Friday.
Cleveland Cavs DFS Spin
Evan Mobley is questionable for Friday’s game against Toronto due to right knee soreness. Mobley has started each of the Cavaliers’ first 33 games, but he played just 23 minutes Wednesday against Milwaukee and is dealing with a sore right knee. If he’s unavailable against the Raptors, Cedi Osman and Kevin Love would be candidates to take on increased roles.
