Jackson has big scoring night vs. Timberwolves
Jaren Jackson Jr. had 33 points (13-of-24 FGs), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and two 3-pointers against the Timberwolves on Saturday. Jackson Jr. took just 15 shots on Thursday as Ja Morant returned to the lineup, but he was back up to 24 attempts Saturday. Jackson Jr. had a big scoring night with 33 points. The 25-year-old power forward has been a fantasy beast this year as he continues to fill up the stat sheet in a variety of categories. Jackson Jr. has returned first round value this season.
Sengun puts on a show vs. Memphis
Alperen Sengun finished Thursday’s 119-115 win over Memphis with 32 points (12-of-20 FGs, 7-of-15 FTs), 14 rebounds, five assists, one block, and one 3-pointer in 35 minutes. Poor foul shooting aside, Sengun put on a show in Memphis. He recorded his second 30-point double-double of the season on Thursday and his 24th double-double overall. Sengun has only been a 7th-round player in 8-cat formats over the past two weeks, with the foul line (60.5%) limiting his value. He’s shooting 73% from the line for the season, so this isn’t an area fantasy managers should be too concerned about. Houston ends its Week 11 schedule in Atlanta on Saturday.
Grizzlies vs. Rockets NBA Prediction:
Take Houston. In the last 10 meetings between these two teams, the Rockets are 6-3-1 at the window. These two teams just met in Memphis on January 9 and the Rockets won by four over the Grizzlies, covering as a 2.5-point dog in the process. It was the fifth time in the last six meetings that Houston has covered versus Memphis. It was also the Rockets’ third straight win and fourth victory in their last five contests.
