Kansas Jayhawks DFS Snapshot
Dajuan Harris finished Monday’s 76-62 victory over Oklahoma State with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes. Harris had a nice showing against Oklahoma State. He is becoming a more willing shooter from deep, as this marked the second time in the last three games he has attempted at least five three-pointers. Kansas will need Harris to be willing to pull as the sag off of him to double the post and focus attention on Ochai Agbaji. Even when/if Remy Martin returns, Harris is still going to be in position to contribute in assists and steal categories. Kansas will face West Virginia on Saturday.
West Virginia Mountaineers DFS Snapshot
Kedrian Johnson logged 15 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 32 minutes before fouling out of Monday’s 78-73 loss to Kansas State. Johnson made his return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the last two contests. He had possibly his best game of the season despite the loss, as Johnson was able to contribute in all categories. West Virginia will take on Kansas on Saturday next. Johnson will look to do better than he did in the first matchup against Kansas when he had just on steal on his stat line in 15 minutes.
