Providence Friars DFS Spin
Devin Carter produced 20 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 42 minutes during Tuesday’s 103-98 2OT victory over Marquette. Carter posted a season high in scoring with his 20 points. It came just shy of his career high which he set last season with South Carolina in a game against Army when he had 22 points. Carter has been a very solid piece this season for coach Ed Cooley, averaging 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per contest. Providence will play their next game on Dec. 29 against Butler.
Butler Bulldogs DFS Spin
Jayden Taylor supplied nine points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Thursday’s 78-56 loss to Creighton. Taylor has now combined for just 11 points on 4-of-14 shooting over his last two games. Taylor’s nine points were still good for the second-highest total of any Butler scorer — symbolizing how lethargic the Bulldogs offense can be.
