Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Monday 1/12/15
When the Celtics traded Jeff Green to Memphis, it opened the door for Boston's young talent to see a significant bump in playing time. And Jae Crowder took full advantage last night.
Crowder dropped an impressive 22-point with 3-rebound, 3-assist, 4-steal and 2-block line in yesterday's win against the Pelicans. His teammate, Jared Sullinger, also stepped up in Green's absence, scoring 27 points and grabbing 10 rebounds of his own.
Crowder and Sullinger weren't the only pair of teammates who made their way into yesterday's perfect lineups. Jonas Valanciunas and Amir Johnson dominated the Pistons' interior defense, combining for 43 points, 22 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks in a close loss against Detroit. Similarly, Victor Oladipo and Elfrid Payton both had huge games against the Bulls, posting a combined 43 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals.
