Boston Celtics DFS Spin
Jayson Tatum was a lone bright spot for Boston during Sunday's 100-91 loss to Phoenix, tallying 23 points, four rebounds, seven assists, three triples and one steal across 35 turnover-less minutes. Tatum had a tough time with Phoenix’s defense today, finishing 8-of-22 from the field, and the Suns did a really nice job of taking him out of the game down the stretch with double teams — which resulted in him being held to just three points on 1-of-4 shooting through the final frame of action. For Boston to be successful, Tatum will have to do a better job of asserting himself late in games, regardless of the defensive schemes other teams are throwing at him.
Utah Jazz DFS Spin
Donovan Mitchell fell one rebound shy of a triple-double on Sunday, scoring 27 points with a career-high-tying 11 assists and nine rebounds in 38 minutes. The Jazz look unstoppable with 15 wins in their past 16 games. Mitchell has been their engine during the streak, and they won a tough road game in Indiana tonight despite the absence of Mike Conley (hamstring tightness). The only things preventing Spida from reaching the upper echelons of fantasy value are high turnovers (3.0 per game), damaging field goal percentages (43.6%) and low defensive stats (0.8 steals, 0.3 blocks). All of those were in effect today with five turnovers, 9-of-25 shooting and one steal, though most fantasy managers will be satisfied as long as he's healthy and hovering around 22/4/4 averages.
