Los Angeles Lakers DFS Spin
LeBron James (left foot soreness) is probable for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves. The Lakers continue to list James as probable, so fantasy managers should assume he’ll be available Friday night. Depending upon what happens with Anthony Davis, who’s questionable due to lower back tightness, James could have even more responsibility on his shoulders in Minneapolis.
Minnesota Timberwolves DFS Spin
Anthony Edwards hit 12-of-21 shots and a season-high seven 3-pointers for season highs of 34 points and nine assists, with three rebounds, two steals and five turnovers in a 134-122 win over the Spurs. Ant has now scored at least 30 points in three of his five games, but scored just nine and 11 in the other two. The Wolves somehow managed to avoid a single offensive rebound tonight, probably because they weren’t missing shots. They hit 65 percent from the floor and 59 percent from downtown, draining 10 3-pointers in the first quarter and 20 of them for the game. The Wolves improved to 3-2 on the season.
