Portland Trail Blazers DFS Spin
Damian Lillard hit 8-of-16 shots and six 3-pointers for 26 points, six rebounds, seven assists and six turnovers in Wednesday’s win over the Hornets. The six turnovers and the 4-of-8 free throw shooting were a bit of a buzzkill but Lillard played very well overall and led his team to a win. He’s back from his calf injury and will hopefully be healthy the rest of the way. Anfernee Simons added 19 points, two 3-pointers, six assists and two steals in the win
New Orleans Pelicans DFS Spin
Zion Williamson scored 19 points with five rebounds, one assist and one turnover in 31 minutes vs. the Bulls on Wednesday. This wasn’t Zion’s best game by any means but he’s slowly rounding into top form for the Pelicans and he knows it. “I feel the game slowing down for me again,” Zion said. “Like in real time. Like it was before I got injured.” But if he’s going to live up to his ADP in fantasy, he’ll need to add some blocks to his arsenal quickly because the 3-point shot is still a huge work in progress.
