Miami Heat DFS Spin
Miami guard Tyler Herro will not play in Game 2 of the NBA Finals as he works his way back from a broken right hand. Herv was targeting Game 3 for his comeback, and it looks like he’s on track for that. He averaged 20.1 points per game for the Heat in the regular season. Miami Raiders Cody Zeller and Caleb Martin are both questionable for Sunday’s tilt with Denver. Zeller is dealing with a sprained right foot and Martin is also ailing. It is worth noting that Martin did not practice with the team on Saturday. His status in this game is huge as he has averaged 13.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per game for Miami in the playoffs.
Denver Nuggets DFS Spin
Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon He set the tone early in Denver’s 104-93 Game 1 win as he made several baskets in the first quarter to give his team an early lead. In the game, Gordon had 16 points and 6 rebounds while shooting a perfect 7-10 from the field. He might be worth a look in DFS on Sunday.
Denver small forward Bruce Brown has been an underdog this season with the Nuggets. He scored 10 points in Game 1 of the series while hitting 2-of-3 shots from long range. For the playoffs, Brown is averaging 12.1 points per game on 53.3 percent shooting from the field, making him a target in most DFS formats.
