New Orleans Pelicans DFS Spin
Zion Williamson (right hip soreness) played 31 minutes in Sunday’s 112-91 win over the Clippers, scoring 21 points (9-of-17 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs) with 12 rebounds, seven assists, and one steal. Williamson was back on the court after sitting out Friday’s game against the Suns with a right hip injury, and he looked relatively sharp. Of course, there were questions about how he felt after taking an early fall Sunday afternoon, but Williamson said he was fine. As for the stat line, the absence of Brandon Ingram means he’ll have more opportunities to serve as a playmaker, and Zion finished the rout with seven assists and just one turnover. New Orleans is off until Wednesday night, so Williamson would have ample time to recover if he had any lingering issues.
Los Angeles Lakers DFS Spin
LeBron James (left foot soreness) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans. James is once again listed as probable on the injury report, and we fully expect him to be available to play. Make sure he’s rostered in your lineups.
