Memphis Grizzlies DFS Notes
Dillon Brooks led Memphis to a 116-107 road win on Wednesday, scoring 25 points on 8-of-13 field goals and 8-of-9 free throws. Brooks didn’t have any assists after handing out seven in an overtime win on Monday. He wasn’t stingy with supporting stats, though, adding three rebounds with a steal and a block. Brooks’ fantasy value would spike if efficiency shooting nights like this were more common, but as things stand he’s still sub-40% on the season which leaves him on the fringe of fantasy value.
Utah Jazz DFS Notes
Donovan Mitchell hit 11-of-19 shots, five 3-pointers and 3-of-3 free throws for 30 points, six rebounds, six assists and a steal, marking his third straight game with at least 30 points. This was his 13th 30-point game of the season and he’s really feeling it right now. On nights when his shot isn’t working he’s getting to the line, and if he’s not getting to the line, his shot is working. This was also a nice bounce-back game for Mitchell after he went 8-of-20 from the floor, 0-for-9 from downtown and 15-of-16 from the free-throw line on Friday.
Grizzlies vs. Jazz Game Prediction
The Grizzlies are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games versus Utah and are 4-1 against the number in their last five games overall. The Jazz, meanwhile, are 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games playing on one day of rest and are just 2-6 at the betting window in their last eight games when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.
