New Orleans Pelicans DFS Spin
Herbert Jones will dress but only play in an emergency situation Friday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports. Jones is not expected to see the court despite being listed as available for the contest. He should remain on the bench and be considered out for all fantasy managers. Naji Marshall will draw another start in his place.
Memphis Grizzlies DFS Spin
Ja Morant totaled 19 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, 17 assists and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday’s 119-106 win over the Raptors. Morant struggled a bit with his shot and needed 19 shots to score 19 points, but he was magnificent as a passer and notched a season-best mark in the assists category. He’s dished out 10 or more assists in seven of his last 10 games, so these displays aren’t really eye-popping, and he remains the go-to figure for the Grizzlies on offense. During that 10-game stretch, he’s averaged 24.1 points and 9.7 assists per contest.
