I used to walk 500 Myles for Turner but he’s hurt and I’m a fantasy slut. Plus, I walked way more than 500 Myles. Go check the receipts. I was walking before people were talking. Anyways, the new campaign is to walk 500 Miles for Bridges. Remember back in the day when they’d have those heart challenges at school and you’d have to ask for donations for a walk? It’s similar except we are not asking for money. We are demanding respect for Miles Bridges. Last night was just the latest example of his dominance this season.

In 38 minutes. Bridges has started the last nine games and been a top 35 player. He’s averaged 38 minutes, 21 points, 3.3 tres, 7.5 boards, 2.4 dimes, 0.9 steals, and 0.9 blocks while shooting 54% from the field and 77% from the line. The usage rate has been 21. That number was at 16 for most of the season. He’s benefited from injuries but the genie is out of the bag now. There’s no stuffing it back in. If it happens, then we walking, and walking, and walking until it’s water under the Bridges.
Here’s what else I saw last night:

Nat King Cole Anthony has been making sweet music recently, as he’s been a top 115 player over the last four games. Hey, he was outside the top 200 for much of the season so….The usage rate is 25 and he’s playing 28.7 minutes per game. The field goal percentage is always an issue, but he’s been shooting 45% recently, which is a big improvement over the 38% mark on the season. With Operation Tank in full effect, Nat King Cole should get as much run as he can handle.
Gary Harris

One of the most impressive lines I’ve seen all year. He played 27 minutes and truly stayed in his lane.
John Collins
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |
| 11 | 15 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0/2 | 4/9 | 3/4 |
Has played 21 and 25 in the two games since returning from a nine-game absence. Cousin Phil was making some depressing music while he was gone, so at least the tunes have been more upbeat lately in the Collins household.
Clint Capela
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |

Top 20 player on the season. I respect the strategy of: cannot tank free throw percentage if do not attempt free throws.

You’re sitting on the couch and the remote falls on the floor. You reach down to get it then see a M & Ms on the floor. It’s probably been there for a few days, maybe a week, possibly a month. It is stale and dirty but you eat it anyway. Sweetness. Lou’s fantasy season.

Hail, Julius! The Emperor of New York has arrived. Kneel before him.

| 16 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5/12 | 5/12 | 1/1 |
Played 38 minutes and stuffed the stat sheet. What a time to be alive. Over the last four games, he’s averaging 37.5 minutes, 14.5 points, 3.5 tres, 4.3 boards, and two dimes. That’s been good for top 100 production. That ain’t bad, yo.

When two of the Big Three are out, the usage rate spikes up to above 20. Normally, it’s in the 16 range. Your average Joe no mo.
Kyrie Irving
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |
| 32 | 2 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 3/7 | 12/19 | 5/6 |
Was flat to start the game but turned it around.
Bruce Brown
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |
| 11 | 11 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 1/1 | 3/4 | 4/6 |
In 26 minutes off the bench. He’s no Bruce Wayne or Bruce Banner but could those Bruces grab 11 boards, get four steals, and score 11 points? I think not. Wayne can’t do anything without gadgets while Banner is too much of a wimp to play hoops. If he turned into the Hulk, then he’d more than likely take the ball and punt it as far as he could.
Zion Williamson
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |
| 33 | 7 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 14/19 | 5/6 |
I want Zion to go to the Nets so he and Randle would battle for supremacy of New York. It’d be like Godzilla vs King Kong.
Lonzo Ball
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |
| 15 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 3/6 | 6/11 | 0 |
Third game back after missing four games. Top 50 player on the season. He just needs to improve on the shooting efficiency and he can be a fantasy star. Top 30 isn’t out of the question because he contributes in every cat.
Naji Marshall
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |
| 15 | 6 | 7 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 2/8 | 6/15 | 1/6 |
In 35 minutes off the bench. For my west coast heads, it’s incredible that we have a Ross and a Marshall in the league and both are discount options who can provide designer label stats at times.
Paul George

| 33 | 11 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 2/8 | 13/22 | 5/6 |
Kawhi missed another game. When he doesn’t play, PG sees an 8.6% usage bump to 38.8. You play PG when Kawhi is out. EZ PZ.

Stepped up with no Lillard or Nurkic, but it wasn’t enough as the Clippers defeated the Trail Blazers, 113-112.

A professional getter of buckets. For those who shit on Melo, just go back and watch his early Knicks and Nuggets days.

Nassir provided a Little spark and received more than a Little run as a result.

Me-f’ing-ow. Dude is so good and is a fantasy beast. Not sure he could ever lead a squad to the chip though. As a secondary player, sure.

| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |
| 28 | 3 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 6/8 | 10/13 | 2/2 |
In 25 minutes off the bench. It’s been nine games since he’s returned from injury and he’s played over 25 minutes just once. He has been cleared to play over 30 minutes, so it’s just a matter of time before he returns to the starting lineup.
Moe Harkless
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |
| 20 | 7 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 3/4 | 7/12 | 3/4 |
That’s my Mo! I always draft the dude in 2k. He’s long, athletic, can guard down low and on the perimeter, and has a J. The Kings should hire me. For real. Harkless has started the last seven games and averaged 28 minutes. He’s been a top 100 player. A 1/1/1 player!
