Denver Nuggets DFS Spin

Denver point guard Jamal Mori He went to the game on Thursday night. He scored 37 points, including 23 in the fourth quarter. Murray was instrumental in Denver’s 108-103 win at home in Game 2. He will likely have DFS value on Saturday night as he has scored at least 26 points in three straight games.

Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon has been quiet this series, but that could change on Saturday. Gordon shot 34.7 percent from deep during the regular season, but he has yet to make a three-pointer in five attempts this series. Gordon averaged 3.1 points per game over the course of the regular season, which could make him worth a look in DFS in Game 2 of this series.

Los Angeles Lakers DFS rotation

Lakers James Lebron In Game 2 on Thursday, it was a little difficult. James made several layups, went 0-for-6 on three-pointers and had three turnovers. His playoff numbers per game are still solid (23.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists) and I like him to have a great comeback at home against Denver on Saturday.

Los Angeles’ D’Angelo Russell scored 21 points in Game 3 of the Lakers’ second-round series against Golden State. He made 5 three-pointers and had 5 assists in that match. Russell is averaging just nine points per game in the series, but he should get back on track in Game 3 at home against Denver.
