Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Wednesday 2/25/15
When Blake Griffin was sidelined after undergoing elbow surgery, many people thought the Clippers were in big trouble. With Griffin out for an extended period, how was Los Angeles going to keep pace in the loaded Western Conference? While the Clippers haven't been perfect, they have won four of their seven games without their star forward, with their only losses coming to playoff-caliber teams -- the Rockets, Grizzlies and Thunder. The reason why the Clippers have been able to compete without Griffin is because both Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan have managed to take their games to the next level with Blake sidelined and last night was no different.
Although the Clippers lost a hard fought game to Houston, both Paul and Jordan were spectacular last night. Paul recorded his sixth double-double in his last seven games, dropping 22 points, 14 assists and 3 rebounds on the Rockets while Jordan put together another monster night on the glass, grabbing 19 boards to go along with 22 points and 2 blocks.
The Clippers' stars weren't the only players to step up in a big way last night. Pau Gasol did his best to fill the most recent void left by the injured Derrick Rose, scoring 25 points with 13 rebounds and 4 blocks. Evan Turner amassed another triple-double, scoring 10 points with 10 assists and 12 rebounds for the Celitcs, and Rudy Gay looked spectacular while dropping 28 points, 6 dimes and 5 boards on Memphis, despite losing in decisive fashion.
With only two games on tonight's slate it may be tough to find value in such a small player pool.
