Kansas Jayhawks DFS Spin
Jalen Wilson registered 16 points (5-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday’s 62-60 win over Iowa State. Wilson logged his eighth double-double this season and his second through five Big 12 games. He also grabbed all of his team-high 11 rebounds on the defensive glass. Wilson has continued to put up consistent double-digit scoring performances while taking 16.6 field-goal attempts this season, though he’s continually struggled with his efficiency, converting just 40.4 percent over 17 starts. Nevertheless, Wilson is still one of the Big 12’s leading scorers, and his prominent should to net him double-doubles moving forward.
Kansas State Wildcats DFS Spin
Keyontae Johnson notched 18 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Saturday’s 82-68 loss to TCU. Johnson continued to be a no-doubt double-digit scorer, as he has now averaged 18.4 points while converting 56.4 percent of his field-goal attempts this season. The 6-foot-6 senior also posted nine rebounds for the third time in the past four games, and, while he leads the Wildcats with 7.1 boards per game this season, he has only posted two double-doubles across 17 starts. Johnson should continue to be one of the Big 12’s most productive and efficient players moving forward this season.
