Miami Hurricanes DFS Snapshot
Jordan Miller produced 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and three steals over 37 minutes during Friday’s 80-76 loss to Duke. Miller did what he could, but Miami could not complete the upset and ultimately fell against Duke in a tight contest. He ends the season having scored 13 or more points in four games in a row, and he also recorded two double-doubles in that span.

Isaiah Mobley ended Friday’s 69-59 loss to UCLA with nine points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 38 minutes.

The talented center has posted six double-doubles on the season but none in the last five games and has been held to single digits three times in the last four games. Mobley led the Trojans in points, rebounds, blocks and steals this season.
