Colorado State Rams DFS Spin

Jalen Lake provided eight points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one block in 24 minutes during Saturday's 60-57 win over Fresno State. Lake attempted every field goal outside the three-point arc, so his scoring output was not too bad in hindsight. It is also important to consider he returned from a concussion, so fantasy managers should not have expected him to be at his best right away. But when Lake is part of the Rams' starting lineup again soon, all bets are off.

San Diego State Aztecs DFS Spin

Nathan Mensah contributed eight points (3-5 FG, 2-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and four blocks across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 45-43 win over Fresno State. According to one unverified Aztecs account, Mensah did have to leave the game briefly with what appeared to be a lower-back injury, though his final minutes total was right in line with his 21.2 mpg season average. Mensah did return, and poor free-throw shooting nearly cost the Aztecs down the stretch in what was a low-scoring, tight conference victory. The fifth-year senior is still a key piece of the San Diego State defensive scheme, so while the injury is worth keeping an eye on, it doesn't currently appear to be something that will affect his availability heading into next Tuesday's contest against Colorado State.
