Golden State Warriors DFS Spin

Klay Thompson racked up 24 points (8-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block, and four 3-pointers in Thursday's 121-118 overtime loss to the Celtics. Thompson has scored 24 points or more in eight of his last appearances, a clear sign that he's getting it going offensively. And the improved scoring has given his fantasy value a welcome boost, with Thompson ranked within the top 40 in 9-cat formats over the last two weeks. The only concern in the short-term is his availability, as he's yet to play both ends of a back-to-back this season. With the Warriors visiting Cleveland Friday night, fantasy managers should anticipate Thompson sitting that one out. Consider him doubtful to play.

Cleveland Cavs DFS Spin

Donovan Mitchell (strained left groin) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors. Mitchell did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Grizzles, with Caris LeVert filling the resulting void in the starting lineup. LeVert has been much better as a starter than as a reserve, so he's worth rostering for as long as Mitchell remains sidelined.
