West Virginia Mountaineers DFS Spin
Emmitt Matthews accumulated six points (2-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes during Saturday’s 80-77 win over Auburn. Matthews failed to log double-digit points for the third game in a row. The 6-foot-7 senior has scored in double figures 10 times this season, though he’s averaged just 7.9 points since the start of Big 12 play. Matthews is also posting just 3.3 rebounds per game over this span, making him a very minimal consideration for fantasy lineups moving forward.
TCU Horned Frogs DFS Spin
Emanuel Miller closed Saturday’s 81-74 OT loss to Mississippi State with 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 40 minutes. Miller continued his consistent streak of production for the season, scoring in double figures for the 14th time in 17 starts. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has also been a stalwart on the glass with 6.5 rebounds per game. Miller’s production both on the boards and as a scorer should make him the Horned Frogs’ top fantasy contributor so long as guard Mike Miles (knee) remains sidelined.
