Purdue Boilermakers DFS Snapshot
Zach Edey supplied 25 points (10-15 FG, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 22 minutes during Saturday’s 68-65 loss to Michigan State. Edey helped keep the Boilermakers in contention during Saturday’s matchup by leading the team with a season-high 25 points. His shot volume had dropped slightly across the last four games, but it was encouraging to see him get more looks Saturday while remaining efficient from the floor. He’s now converted 67.8 percent of his field-goal attempts this year.

He’s been somewhat limited since the start of February but has turned things around recently by scoring in double figures in three of his last four appearances. During that time, he’s averaged 13.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 35.3 minutes per game.
