Is there any way to convert NULL in this piece of code?

 var flexgrid = new
            {
                page = page,
                total = Total,
                rows = clients
                .Select(x => new
                {
                    id = x.Id,
                    cell = new {x.Id, x.Number, x.Name, x.Contact1 }
                }
                )

            };
