Grizzlies' Dillon Brooks makes most of opportunity on opening night
Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks seemingly came out of nowhere to score 19 points in a 103-91 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Brooks went 7-of-13 from the field and 5-of-7 from the line, but he did much more than shooting on Wednesday night. As he stepped in with JaMychal Green (ankle) injured, and James Ennis and Chandler Parsons limited, the rookie stuffed the stat sheet with five rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals in his 30 minutes on the floor.
At $3,000, Brooks provided 44 FanDuel points at a value of 14.67 points per $1,000. It's possible that he sees decent minutes again with Green ruled out, however, our models have him down for only 7.8 FanDuel points and 1.5 minutes on Saturday against the Golden State Warriors.
