Memphis Grizzlies DFS Spin
Ja Morant scored 35 points Sunday and added eight rebounds, five assists, a steal, a block and a triple. Morant was efficient against the Kings, hitting 13-of-23 shots and 8-of-10 free throws en route to his 14th 30-point game of the season and fifth in his last seven outings. Morant has been cooking in that seven-game span, averaging 29.0 points, 9.3 dimes and 4.4 boards. He’s still not providing much in the way of defensive stats, and the turnover totals have been quite pesky, but as long as your fantasy team is built to withstand those negative elements to Morant’s game, he should continue to be an elite producer.
Charlotte Hornets DFS Spin
Terry Rozier shot 11-of-20 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line in Monday’s 121-115 loss to the Lakers, scoring 27 points with two rebounds, four assists, and three 3-pointers in 34 minutes. Rozier was in a shooting slump entering Monday’s game, shooting 28.3% from the field in the four games prior. If there was a positive for the Hornets to take out of their defeat, it was Rozier getting back on track. The 27 points are the most he’s scored in a game since December 11, when he notched 29 in a loss to the 76ers. Rozier remains ranked outside the top 150 in 9-cat formats, so hopefully, Monday’s performance will start a turnaround.
