Derek Simpson is part of Rutgers’ starting lineup Thursday against Michigan, according to Brian Fonseca of The Star-Ledger. Across his three games started, Simpson averaged 8.7 points and 3.0 rebounds. He will serve as a lineup replacement for Aundre Hyatt on Thursday.
Purdue Boilermakers DFS Spin
Braden Smith closed Sunday’s 76-71 win over Illinois with 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes. Smith was able to get plenty of minutes in his first season for the Boilermakers and closes out a conference title with a nice performance in the final game. It’s worth tracking if he can do this consistently in March, as he’s scored in double-figures for a maximum of just three straight games over two different stretches.
