Michigan Wolverines DFS Spin

Kobe Bufkin notched 28 points (10-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 42 minutes during Sunday's 87-79 OT win over Wisconsin. Bufkin set a new season-high for points in a game to take down the Badgers at home. Down the line, Bufkin could get even better as he's allowed more scoring responsibility than he already gets.

Indiana Hoosiers DFS Spin

Xavier Johnson (foot) is out for the remainder of the 2022-23 season. Johnson hasn't played since Dec. 17 due to a foot injury, so Indiana's decision to shut him down isn't surprising. The 6-foot-3 guard will finish the season averaging 9.9 points, 4.9 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 25.2 minutes across 11 games in 2022-23. Johnson is expected to apply for a medical redshirt.
