Indiana Pacers DFS Spin

Tyrese Haliburton returned to the lineup on Friday and contributed 20 points (7-for-13 FGs), six rebounds, nine assists, one steal, one triple and five turnovers in a 120-95 loss to the Celtics. Haliburton was available to play for the first time in two weeks, and he got right back to providing dominant fantasy value, despite playing against an elite defensive team. It was surprising to see Haliburton back, as many expected them to just keep him sidelined and prioritize his long-term health. However, they did focus on the future, as they allowed him to start alongside Bennedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard on the perimeter, with Buddy Hield coming off the bench. We'll see how many more games Hali plays this season, but he'll be drafted in the first round of most leagues next season.

Atlanta Hawks DFS Spin

Trae Young (left calf contusion) is questionable to play against the Pacers on Saturday. Trae dealt with a calf issue earlier this season, but he hasn't missed a game since January. In that game, Dejounte Murray dropped a career-high 40 points. Murray will be available for this game, after missing their last two with an illness. He should be in for a big night if Young isn't able to play. The Hawks play again on Sunday, so if Trae is able to play on Saturday, there's a chance he sits the second leg of the back-to-back.
