Michigan State Spartans DFS Spin
Malik Hall (lower leg) will not practice Friday, Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press reports. After missing three straight, Hall returned to the floor for Thursday’s win over Iowa. Hall is not practicing on Friday in what appears to be a cautious decision by the coaching staff. The Spartans don’t play until Sunday against Purdue, giving Hall two days of rest before playing.
Purdue Boilermakers DFS Spin
Zach Edey had 24 points (10-17 FG, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 33 minutes during Sunday’s 58-55 victory over Maryland. The Boilermakers wouldn’t go far without Edey on the floor after no other player scored in double-figures and they still won. As he’s missed out on a double-double in just three games of 19, Edey should continue to dominate but may not go far in the postseason without more help.
