Creighton Bluejays DFS Spin
Arthur Kaluma posted two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Tuesday’s 73-71 loss to Marquette. Kaluma’s electrifying dunk opened the game’s scoring, but the 6-7 sophomore forward wasn’t heard from since and ended up logging a season-low 16 minutes in a pivotal home defeat. Kaluma has strong usage numbers on paper, but if the Creighton bench is going to start getting more involved at his expense, his fantasy value could be set to take a plunge down the stretch.
Villanova Wildcats DFS Spin
Justin Moore logged 25 points (10-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday’s 64-63 win over Xavier. Moore looked like his pre-Achilles injury-self in a big time road win against a quality Xavier team. He bettered his previous season high of 17, which he did on Feb. 8 against DePaul and again on Feb. 18 against Providence. This Villanova team has now won four out of their last five and is back to .500 on the season. This is an experienced team that is very capable of making a run in the Big East Tournament and potentially stealing an NCAA Tournament bid.
