Milwaukee Bucks DFS Spin

Bucks forward Khris Middleton missed Milwaukee’s game at Utah on Friday night with a right knee injury. He’s officially listed as questionable for Saturday’s road tilt with Denver. Middleton is fourth on the Bucks in scoring this season with 14.9 points per game and he’s third on the club with 5 assists per game.

Bucks center Brook Lopez is having a standout season. The 7’0” Stanford alum is averaging 15.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 made threes for the Bucks this season. He’s also second in the NBA in blocks with 2.5 per game. Brook Lopez could be a valuable DFS option because of his ability to score, rebound, block shots, and make three-pointers on Saturday. 

Denver Nuggets DFS Spin

Denver forward Aaron Gordon is having one of the best seasons of his career in 2022-2023. The former #4 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft is averaging 16.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and a career-high 3.0 made free throws per game. He’s been efficient as well, as Gordon is shooting 57.9% from the field and 36.1% from beyond the arc this season. He could be a solid DFS play this weekend.

Bruce Brown might be a nice sleeper DFS play at small forward on Saturday night. The 6’4” Miami alum is averaging 10.9 points, 4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1 steal, and 1.2 made three-pointers per game for the Nuggets this season. Brown has scored at least 9 points in 12 of his last 17 games and may need to hit that mark again for Denver to win and cover on Saturday night.
