Los Angeles Lakers DFS Spin
Anthony Davis (right foot stress injury), LeBron James (right foot soreness) and Dennis Schroder (right Achilles soreness) are all probable for Game 2 against Memphis on Wednesday. All three were probable for Game 1, and all three played big minutes in the upset win. They’ll likely be in for similar roles as they look to steal another game on the road.
Memphis Grizzlies DFS Spin
Ja Morant (right hand) will be a game-time decision for Game 2 against the Lakers on Wednesday. An MRI on Monday revealed “an aggravation of the bruising in the soft tissue in Morant’s hand”, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. The original injury was one that he suffered during the final week of the regular season, and he already had it wrapped up heading into Game 1. He described his pain level as a 10 following his early exit on Sunday, but it appears that there’s a chance he plays on Wednesday. Taylor Jenkins could just be holding his cards close to his chest to throw off the Lakers, which would allow Tyus Jones to get the start.
