Portland Trail Blazers DFS Spin
Damian Lillard dropped 40 points in Sunday’s win over Dallas, adding six assists, three rebounds, a steal and four triples. Dame popped off for 36 points and 10 dimes in Saturday’s 136-119 win over Dallas, and he was even better in Sunday’s rematch, guiding Portland to a second straight blowout. Lillard has been money over his last five games, averaging 38.0 points, 6.4 assists, 3.6 dimes, 3.6 triples and 1.0 steals while scoring at least 30 points in each contest. Unsurprisingly, he’s fantasy’s No. 1 player over the last week thanks to his monster numbers, and he’ll need to stay at his best when he and the Blazers travel to Denver to face the Nuggets on Tuesday.
Denver Nuggets DFS Spin
Nikola Jokic posted 17 points, 14 assists, 10 rebounds, two steals, a block and the game-winning triple in Sunday’s 119-116 victory over Orlando. After sitting out Friday’s win over the Clippers, Jokic returned from the one-game absence without missing a beat. The reigning back-to-back MVP turned in his 12th triple-double of the season and led the Thunder to a narrow victory over the visiting Magic with a last-second three-pointer. Tied up at 116, the Magic double-teamed Jamal Murray, and Jokic got switched to Franz Wagner. Jokic stepped back and let it rip from straight on, and Wagner couldn’t close out in time, leading to a game-winning three-pointer. The performance is a perfect microcosm of Joker’s season, as he’s proven time and time again to be the most valuable player on the court. Jokic averaged a career-best 13.8 boards and 27.1 points per game in 2021-22, and he’s now averaging a career-high 9.7 dimes in 2022-23, showcasing his versatility at every turn. The Nuggets host the Trail Blazers Tuesday, and Jokic will try to lead his team to a 15th straight victory at home.
