Baylor Bears DFS Snapshot
Matthew Mayer racked up 20 points (6-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and four steals in 29 minutes during Tuesday’s 77-68 win over West Virginia. Mayer looked as confident as he has looked all season in a big spot on the road with Baylor coming off two straight losses and without their best player in James Akinjo. Mayer is now averaging 18.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 three-pointers, and 2.5 steals over the last two games after going seven straight games scoring in single figures. He will look to keep up the aggressive play against Oklahoma on Saturday.

Over the last nine games the Duke transfer is putting up 9.8 points, 3.0 assists, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per contest. The Sooners will try to bounce back on Saturday at home against Baylor.
