Memphis Grizzlies DFS Spin
Ja Morant took over in a win over the Rockets on Friday, scoring 49 points (17-for-26 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks, five triples and three turnovers in just 31 minutes. Ja fell one 3-pointer shy of tying his career-high of six and finished three points away from tying his career-high in points in a game. Needless to say, Ja seems to be in midseason form very early. Through two games, he’s playing like a first rounder, averaging 41.5 points, 8.5 assists, and four 3-pointers. Though he likely won’t keep up those numbers as the season progresses, fantasy managers couldn’t have asked for a better start.
Dallas Mavericks DFS Spin
Luka Doncic hit 10-of-23 shots, two 3-pointers and a career-best 13-of-13 free throws on his way to 35 points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and four turnovers in Wednesday’s disappointing 107-105 loss to the Suns. Luka hit just 2-of-10 3-pointers tonight but the fact he hit all 13 of his free throws helps make up for the off-shooting night. The Mavs are going to think about this one for a while after being up 22 points, allowing the Suns their biggest comeback since 2017. In any case, there won’t be any chatter this season about Luka not being in shape and if he somehow hits free throws all year, his fantasy value is going to get a nice bump. His last miss from three was from his spot on the left, but the potential game-winner came up just short at the horn. He also picked up a technical foul after heaving the ball in direction of the referee at half-court and is now on pace for 82 T’s this season.
