Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Tuesday 3/17/15
The Grizzlies have been one of the best defensive teams in the league for several years, but that didn't stop Reggie Jackson from putting on a show last night. Jackson scored 23 points and dished out an absurd 20 assists to go along with 2 rebounds, a steal and only 2 turnovers in his best performance as a member of the Pistons to date. The Pistons' point guard wasn't the only Detroit player to have a major impact on the upset over Memphis. While Jackson dominated the perimeter, Andre Drummond dominated the paint, scoring 16 points with 16 boards and a whopping 5 blocks in a tough fought victory over the Grizzlies.
As surprising as it was to see the Pistons' point guard dominate the Grizzlies so thoroughly, Detroit's upset of Memphis wasn't even the most shocking result on yesterday's slate. Led by Alexey Shved's 21 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds and three steals, the Knicks stole one from the defending champions, knocking off the Spurs 104-100 in overtime. While Shved may have been the team's best offensive player last night, the real hero was Lou Amundson's. The Knicks' big man scored 12 points -- including this game-tying layup -- and grabbed a career-best 17 rebounds en route to a rare Knicks' victory.
On a day where there were only five games on the slate, last night was a surprisingly crazy night in the NBA.
