Baylor Bears DFS Spin
LJ Cryer supplied 18 points (5-7 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Tuesday’s 81-74 win over Texas Tech. Cryer posted his fourth double-digit scoring outing across his five appearances during Big 12 play. The 6-foot-1 junior has also been on a hot streak from deep, hitting all but one of his nine three-point tries across the past two games. Cryer now ranks third on the team in points per game (14.2) behind frontcourt-mates Keyonte George (17.7) and Adam Flagler (16.0). Cryer does lead this trio in field-goal percentage (46.9), and he narrowly sits third in field-goal attempts (10.8) behind George (13.3) and Flagler (11.8). However, he doesn’t provide as much value on the boards (2.2) or as an offensive distributor (2.1 assists), making his fantasy value strictly contingent on scoring moving forward.
Oklahoma Sooners DFS Spin
Grant Sherfield recorded 22 points (5-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-11 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes during Saturday’s 77-76 win over West Virginia. Sherfield maintained his role as Oklahoma’s top scorer, logging over 20 points for the eighth time in 17 starts this season. The 6-foot-2 senior has now averaged 17.6 points while also converting a very efficient 44.4 percent of his field-goal attempts to along with a stellar 44.8 percent of his 5.6 three-point tries per game. Sherfield hasn’t provided much production via rebounds (2.9) or assists (3.5) while playing 33.8 minutes per contest, but he is the only Sooners player to average double-digit field-goal attempts per game (13.1). This should continue to make him one of the conference’s five-best scorers moving forward.
