Los Angeles Lakers DFS Spin
Anthony Davis (right foot stress injury) is probable for Game 1 against Memphis on Sunday. AD is going to suit up and play big minutes after five days off. He has a chance to have some big games against a smaller Grizzlies team.
Memphis Grizzlies DFS Spin
Kenneth Lofton Jr. lit up the Thunder with 42 points (17-for-25 FGs), 14 rebounds and one steal in a 115-110 loss on Sunday. On Saturday, Lofton was signed to a four year contract after going undrafted and joining the Grizzlies on a two-way contract. He spent most of his rookie year in the G-League, but he got a chance to play a huge role in this game and delivered. Memphis had already clinched the second best record in the West, so they only played six players in this game. Lofton led the way, with Ziaire Williams adding a 24/5/9 line. Vince Williams (15 points) and David Roddy (14 points) also scored in double figures, but Williams shot 6-for-21 and 1-for-14 from deep, while Roddy shot 6-for-19. The Grizzlies will host the winner of the Lakers and Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs.
