Duke Blue Devils DFS Spin
Jeremy Roach chipped in 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and 11 assists across 34 minutes during Saturday’s 81-65 victory over Virginia Tech. Duke delivered a dominant win over the Hokies and Roach was at the center of it, posting an impressive double-double but also contributing to the rebounding department. He’s scored in double digits in all but one of his seven February outings this month, averaging 15.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game in that span.
North Carolina Tar Heels DFS Spin
Armando Bacot finished Monday’s 77-66 victory over Florida State with one point (0-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and eight rebounds across 21 minutes. Bacot hasn’t been as dominant of late as he was earlier this season, and this might go down as his worst outing of the campaign — he missed all four of his shots and recorded single-digit rebounds for the third time over his last five outings. He’s still having a strong season with averages of 16.5 points and 10.8 rebounds per game, but he has been trending in the wrong direction for the last couple of weeks.
