Golden State Warriors DFS Spin

Klay Thompson (knee) will play Thursday against the Celtics, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports. Thompson rested Monday against the Wizards, but he'll be able to suit up for Golden State's next game. He's topped 20 points in seven of his last eight appearances and has averaged 29.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 35.9 minutes per game during that time.

Boston Celtics DFS Spin

Jayson Tatum registered 51 points (15-23 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 14-14 FT), nine rebounds and five assists in 40 minutes during Monday's 130-118 win over the Hornets. Tatum was in complete control Monday, setting a new season-high mark in scoring while shooting flawlessly from the free-throw line. He has now scored at least 30 points in five of his past six games, absorbing even more offensive responsibility with Jaylen Brown (groin) sidelined. After their embarrassing loss to the Thunder earlier in the month, the Celtics have rattled off seven consecutive victories, affirming their status as arguably the team to beat this season.
