Ohio State Buckeyes DFS Spin
Roddy Gayle had five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday’s 62-41 loss to Michigan State. Gayle put forward one of his better point outputs (nine) during his previous game started. Fantasy managers who expected something similar were left disappointed, as the guard recorded a log they should expect from him when he serves as a backup option, excluding the extra minutes.
Iowa Hawkeyes DFS Spin
Kris Murray totaled 28 points (12-27 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 36 minutes during Sunday’s 68-56 win over Minnesota. Murray’s latest log includes his best point and rebound tallies since January. From Jan. 21 to Feb. 12, he averaged 20.6 points and 7.4 rebounds across seven Iowa games. Inching closer toward tournament play, the 2022-23 Hawkeyes will continue to rely on Murray as their go-to option long as he is healthy. Perhaps even more than National Player of the Year contender Zach Edey, no Big Ten player has given an impressive jump in output like Iowa’s leading man.
