NBA Preseason DFS: Grizzlies @ Thunder

Grizzlies

Memphis is a team that I am going to want some exposure to tonight as they have a number of good young players who are pretty cheap and provide some nice upside. Ja Morant is definitely viable again tonight and is fairly priced on FanDuel and too cheap on Draftkings. Jaren Jackson Jr. was a chalky bust last time out but remains min-priced or close to it on both sites. Brandon Clarke is the guy who went off on Monday, posting 16-12-3 in only 20 minutes and while he got a massive price hike on DK, he’s still only 4300 on FanDuel. Jae Crowder is worth considering, too, since he led the team in minutes on Monday with 28.

Top Plays: Brandon Clarke (FD), Jaren Jackson Jr.

Secondary Plays: Ja Morant, Jae Crowder 

Thunder

The Thunder rested CP3 and Steven Adams on Monday and blown out by Dallas. They look like the should return to the lineup tonight which tempers my enthusiasm about most of these OKC players a bit. CP3 is not likely to get big minutes even if he plays, but Shai-Gilgeous Alexander is still a guy that I’ll have some interest in based on his usage rate this preseason. Danilo Gallinari is also a solid play tonight and small forward is a position that is fairly weak, you might consider rostering him and just trying to get the most raw points at the position.

Top Plays: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Secondary Plays: Danilo Gallinari
