Eric Gordon’s First-Round DFS Preview
Eric Gordon hasn’t matched up well against the Timberwolves during the 2018 regular season. Gordon struggled in his three meetings with the club, averaging only 16 points per game despite averaging 47 percent from the field and 44 percent from behind the arc, which are both above his seasonal shooting numbers. He has also seen a decrease in some advanced statistical areas as well against Minnesota, dropping to a 19.4 usage percentage, down from the 24.4 percent that he averaged throughout the course of the year. While he is capable of having efficient performances, his track record against the team’s first-round opponent this season may make some consider other DFS options on Sunday.
