West Virginia Mountaineers DFS Spin
Erik Stevenson provided 23 points (9-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday’s 76-74 loss to Kansas. Stevenson put up at least 23 points for the third game in a row, stamping an exclamation mark on his massive stretch of production over the past month. Across the last 10 games, the 6-foot-4 senior has averaged 18.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He’s also shot 41.9 percent on 14.8 field-goal attempts and 44.1 percent on 6.8 three-point tries per game over that span. Stevenson’s role as West Virginia’s top scorer should make him a valuable target in fantasy lineups over the final week of the Big 12 regular season.
Iowa State Cyclones DFS Spin
Tamin Lipsey notched 10 points (3-9 FG, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Saturday’s 61-50 loss to Oklahoma. Lipsey logged four steals for the third time in his 28 starts this season. The 6-foot-1 freshman point guard also maintained his production as a scorer and rebounder, as he’s now averaged 9.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists over the last 10 games. Iowa State now sits 8-8 in Big 12 play after losing six of its last eight conference games, which has been due in large part to the team’s lack of consistent scoring over that span. Lipsey will look to maintain his effectiveness on the defensive end while also making more significant offensive contributions Monday versus West Virginia.
