Golden State Warriors DFS Spin
Klay Thompson finished the Warriors’ Game 3 loss with 15 points on 5-of-14 shooting, adding seven rebounds, a steal, a block, three triples and six turnovers. After dropping Game 1, the Warriors came out with a high level of urgency in Game 2 and earned a blowout victory. The catalyst of that win was Thompson, who turned in 30 points and eight triples. Unfortunately for Golden State, he couldn’t replicate that performance in Los Angeles for Game 3, as he fell way back to earth with inefficient shooting and too many turnovers. Klay and Co. will need to show a little more effort than this Monday if they hope to avoid falling into a 3-1 series deficit.
Los Angeles Lakers DFS Spin
Anthony Davis contributed 25 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals and four blocks across 33 minutes in the Lakers’ big win over the Warriors in Game 3. Who could have seen this one coming? Well, just about everyone actually. Davis turned in a huge 30/23 double-double in Game 1 before failing to get anything done in Game 2. His pattern of balling out in “odd games” and struggling in “even games” carried over from the first round series against Memphis in which he had his best performances in Games 1, 3 and 5. Davis has the size and skill to dominate this smaller Warriors lineup on any given night, but we still need to see him do it in back-to-back contests. He’ll look to keep rolling Monday in Game 4.
