AGAINST THE GRAIN: Out Come The Wolves

The popular consensus will likely be picking a Wolves player on the first day of Round 2 playoff action. They're still banged up with some injuries and are up against the team with the best player in the series whereas the Spurs will surely be favored. I imagine many folks will be picking Randle who should carry the load IF Anthony Edwards misses Game 1. He's currently questionable along with Dosunmu. If either or both of those guys don't play, then there are several other Against The Grain options in play. Guys like Conley, Shannon, McDaniels & Reid all played big minutes and had nice stats in their previous game. I like Conley and/or Shannon (whoever is starting if not both) as options that could possibly get you a leg up on your competition while providing a unique picking pattern moving forward. If for some reason the Wolves are at full strength, you should likely stick to someone in their starting lineup or shift your pick to an ATG pick on the Sixers like Oubre or George who both weren't great last game so could be sneaky picks that most people avoid.

IT'S TIME FOR ROUND TWO!!
