There’s something oddly satisfying/cozy/exciting about watching premiers on a Friday night. Back in middle school, it was Lori Loughlin and Jaleel White giving me both reprise from schoolwork, as well as kind of a free pass from my parents to just veg out and enjoy unwinding and entertaining stuff on TV, usually accompanied by snacks. That was the best. The adult equivalent for many years has been enjoying the free pass for NBA League Pass on the first Friday night of the season, work already miles behind me, guilt-free, and enjoying a beverage. This is the night I wait for as soon as the NBA Finals end. Fantasy GMs and general fans alike are filled with high hopes and a sense that anything can happen…this could be our/my year! Well, for the sake of all of our readers here at Razzball, let’s make it your year. Enjoy your Friday nights and be on the road to winning some chips!
Kawhi Leonard
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 40 | 100 | 31 | 10 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 3 |
So how good is Kawhi? He’s arguably the best wing defender since Pippen and his all-around game improvement is unbelievable. He’s just starting to get used to the new team, and he’s doing whatever he wants. For any redrafts starting tonight, Kawhi is arguably pick #4. Kudos to you if you grabbed him after the 10th pick.
Kemba Walker
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 47.1 | 100 | 26 | 2 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 3 |
Walker had a super quiet first quarter, then did all of his damage in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, before the game became a farce of on NBA game. Kemba was solidly efficient and did what Kemba does. He continues his high scoring and solid all-around game, but he’ll never be an elite assists PG.
Nic Batum
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 75 | 75 | 15 | 6 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 2 |
Came out on fire in the 1st quarter, scoring 8 points with 4 boards, 2 assists, and 1 steal. Batum posted a definitive Batum line, contributing a little in almost every cat. His move to the 3 looks like it will benefit his numbers this season.
Malik Monk
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 33.3 | 100 | 11 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
This guy is not afraid to shoot. This can be good and bad. Tonight wasn’t pretty. He always shows flashes of that elite athleticism and quickness, but he couldn’t repeat the results from Wednesday’s game. He’ll be up and down, and will probably not end up in the starting unit because the Hornets need Lamb’s defense.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 62.5 | 50 | 12 | 9 | 5 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 1 |
His shot is still as ugly and a blobfish, but maybe a move to the bench is beneficial for MKG. That’s a solid line in 22 minutes. He’s a streamer in deeper leagues, but just know that there is zero upside.
Miles Bridges
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 75 | NA | 15 | 8 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
Garbage time special, but Bridges is absolutely making the most of every opportunity he gets. Those numbers in only 14 minutes show his crazy upside. If Charlotte ever decides to forgo their traditional bigs, make way for Miles time.
Aaron Gordon
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 22.2 | 100 | 5 | 10 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 3 |
Ugh…Orlando was a complete mess tonight. Led by Gordon, who just could not find a way to get into his groove. The counting stats are nice and reassuring for his GMs that even his basement can be useful.
Nic Vucevic
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 54.5 | 100 | 12 | 8 | 4 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 2 |
Who said Vuc can’t get blocks? With 2 in the 1st quarter and 4 in the game, Vuc ended up showing out best amongst the Orlando squad. 12/8/4 and 4 blocks and good %s make Vuc sneaky good. I do wish he managed to try a few 3’s, but this offense is just a mess.
Jonathan Isaac
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 33.3 | NA | 2 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
Could we have all been wrong? This makes for back-to-back duds to start the season. Isaac looked lost, dealt with foul trouble again, and managed a whole lot of nothing. That said, the talent is there, but the coaching is dreadful. He’ll come around eventually. Excellent time to buy low, though you may not need to. Another game like this and we’ll start seeing him get dropped.
Evan Fournier
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 33.3 | NA | 12 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 |
Wasn’t Fournier good at one point? His shot looked flat and his game passive. He’s really their only scorer in the backcourt, but even that’s not worth a whole lot. His role is safe for now because there aren’t a lot of other options. He will be really annoying to own.
D’Angelo Russell
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 41.7 | 100 | 15 | 5 | 6 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 4 |
Does it ever seem like DRuss has some set of extraordinary skills, but they just don’t quite apply to the NBA? He can ball and does some amazing stuff at times. It’s like a streetballer who gets the call-up, but doesn’t fit because the skills do not translate to the NBA game.
Jarrett Allen
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 75 | 75 | 15 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 2 |
Another classic 75/75 game. Allen’s percentages are really good for fantasy and this was a prime example. Add another 4 blocks and Jarrett is looking like a beast. Looks like he’ll never be a steals or assist guy. He missed his only 3, but hopefully he keeps working on that part of his game. Once he develops that, Allen’s ceiling could be top 30.
Caris LeVert
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 61.5 | 90.9 | 28 | 6 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 4 |
Speaking of upside, LeVert has exploded this season and put his stamp on the NBA with his first 2 games. He just hit the game winner with a driving layup. A favorite “sleeper” who was actually not a sleeper, LeVert has shocked casual fans, but made all of the in-the-know GMs smile. He just does everything and he and Allen are the 2 best players in Brooklyn. If you drafted him, just enjoy the ride. He will be super fun to roster.
Spencer Dinwiddie
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 33.3 | NA | 10 | 3 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 4 |
Looked really solid again tonight, and more of what you might expect out of a point guard. He was aggressive, yet under control, but his shot just wasn’t falling tonight. He ended the game alongside Russell, which could become a regular thing. He still holds value in a weird situation.
Enes Kanter
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 66.7 | 100 | 29 | 10 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Kanter was dominant tonight. He was super efficient and active all game. The lack of blocks is always disappointing, but he did attempt one 3, so that’s something to watch. Fantasy owners knew what they were getting from Kanter when they drafted him; scoring, boards, and percentages. So far, he is even pushing those expectations even further, but not yet diversifying into other categories.
Tim Hardaway Jr.
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 40 | 85.7 | 29 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 2 |
THJ showed off that scoring prowess that made him a popular scoring injection for fantasy teams in the mid rounds. The 3 point shooting looked good. He had a more well-rounded game on Wednesday, but that was against Atlanta. He is so far providing value for those that drafted him.
Kevin Knox
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 50 | NA | 17 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 |
Knox gives NY another upside scorer. His play seems to tantalize the NY fanbase as well as fantasy owners, but his stats seem hollow. His defense was poor and he had the worst +/- of any Knick that played at least 20 minutes. His name carries value in fantasy, but if he can piece together a few more high scoring games, he would be a great player to sell high on.
Frank Ntilikina
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 44.4 | NA | 9 | 1 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Frankie Smokes is the only defender in this starting lineup, so his role and minutes are super secure. As good as a defender as he is, he could do nothing to stop LeVert from going off. Expect similar lines to this, making him usually a better NBA player than fantasy asset. The steals are solid and he is working to improve his 3 point shooting, so down the road, he could find value. For now, he doesn’t belong on standard rosters.
Mario Hezonja
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 33.3 | NA | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Well…at least he didn’t have any turnovers, right? Mario really did not look super at any point tonight. Following a solid 1st game, Hezonja really disappointed. The rotation is kind of confusing at this point. When he signed this summer, all signs pointed to a solid role, but so far, averaging 17 minutes a game is not what GM’s in the Mario business were counting on. Possibly a buy real low candidate, but I’m not confident he ever gets his footing this season. Maybe he should start with not wearing those white t-shirts under his jersey like a nerd.
Trae Young
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 38.9 | 66.7 | 20 | 2 | 9 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 3 |
The efficiency is as advertised, but so are the points, assists, and 3s. He looked pretty good, yet flawed, like we all expected. He’s going to figure things out and will definitely experience some drastic ups and downs, but in the end he will deliver for fantasy GMs. If you’re punting percentages and TOs, he’s golden.
Taurean Prince
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 66.7 | 100 | 28 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 4 |
Taurean played an efficient and productive game, contributing in everything besides blocks. The concerns about Young taking some of Prince’s playmaking responsibilities were real. Other than that, there’s a lot to love about Taurean’s game. He’s an excellent young wing that should be a major part of the plan for the Atlanta rebuild.
DeAndre Bembry
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 36.4 | 50 | 12 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5 |
If the Hawks ever end up moving Bazemore, Bembry could see a sizeable role. For now, he holds value only in very deep leagues, offering an interesting mix of skills with upside in the counting stats. An inefficient triple one with a lot of turnovers is good and bad.
Mike Conley
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 46.2 | 66.7 | 16 | 4 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
This game was out of hand early on, so Conley only logged 26 minutes. He seems fresh and back to his normal near elite level of play. When he gets closer to 30 minutes, those points should go up. Nice bounce back after last game. The Con Man is back.
Marc Gasol
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 57.1 | 100 | 13 | 7 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
If the Grizzlies are playing well, then Gasol and his GMs benefit. Flashing his excellent playmaking and inside/outside game, Gasol managed his tweaked back to play an effective 28 minutes. He’s a great option for fantasy GMs that refuse to punt FTs.
Jaren Jackson Jr.
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 66.7 | 66.7 | 24 | 7 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
We see you, young man. Can we stop messing around and just get Jackson into the starting lineup. Dropping this ridiculous line is partially due to the game being lopsided, but JJJ showed that his unicorn status is no joke: 2 3’s and 2 blocks is nothing to mess with. He is definitely rosterable now and his role could grow quickly.
Garrett Temple
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 90.9 | 71.4 | 30 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
Hopefully, you played him if you somehow had him on your team. I’m not going to look it up, but I will just assume this is the best game of Temple’s career. He should just walk away from the game on this high because that is never happening again. If you can showcase this ridiculous line and get anything of value, pull the trigger.
Kevin Love
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 31.6 | 100 | 25 | 19 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 3 |
If the shot was falling, we could have been witnessing some classic Minnesota Kevin Love. Besides the inefficiency, the boards, assists, and 3’s were all great and exactly what you hoped for when you drafted him in the late 2nd round. 10/10 free throws is also nothing to sneeze at.
Cedi Osman
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 52.9 | 0 | 22 | 3 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 3 |
One of the true breakouts of this early season, Osman showcased his active and diverse game. He obviously made the most of his time with LeBron this summer because his playmaking looked smart. His floor is top 100 and he easily has top 60 upside this season.
Tristan Thompson
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 77.8 | NA | 14 | 10 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
This is good as it gets for Thompson. When he doesn’t miss he can get some cheap points. Otherwise, he’s normally just a rebound specialist and not a great look for your fantasy team.
Colin Sexton
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 66.7 | 100 | 14 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
I might be in the minority, but I just don’t really care for Sexton’s game. Getting 14 points is nice, but look at the rest of that baren box score. He was a team worst -15 in +/- and that can’t endear him to Coach Lue. He’s not worth a spot on your standard roster.
Karl-Anthony Towns
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 40 | 100 | 12 | 9 | 2 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 4 |
Limiting KAT to 10 shots is such a dumb idea. As the best player on the team, he needs to demand a higher usage. This is all very disappointing for his fantasy GMs. Things might not get straightened out until after Jimmy gets moved. If ever there was a buy low window, it’s now.
Jimmy Butler
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 83.3 | 100 | 33 | 7 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
Showered with boos, Jimmy eventually had the crowd swing completely the other way with chants of M-V-P! 10-for-10 in free throws help complete a fantastic line that contributed everwhere. Still, he had to shoot an unsustainable 83.3% from the field, which won’t normally be the case. The shots in Minnesota are getting spread across too many players.
Jeff Teague
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 33.3 | 100 | 9 | 3 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
What a letdown after the last game. Teague’s value lays somewhere in the middle, as he should average a solid mid-teens in points and 6-7 assists. He’ll bounce back.
Andrew Wiggins
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 38.1 | 100 | 22 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
21 shots to get 22 points is not good. Wiggins did what he does, which is score. He managed to hit a 3 and somehow nabbed 3 steals, which is nice. He’s a low-end point specialist in standard leagues.
Willy Cauley-Stein
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 64.3 | 66.7 | 20 | 7 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Minutes are subject to random change in Sac town. WCS made the best of his time on the court with efficient scoring and boards. Maybe he can hold onto the role, but your guess is as good as mine.
Buddy Hield
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 63.6 | NA | 17 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 2 |
The 3’s and scoring are nice. He’s capable of better counting stats, especially when given more minutes. Buddy is having a good start to the fantasy season.
De’Aaron Fox
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 50 | 85.7 | 18 | 7 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
Another efficient performance. The turnovers are concerning if you worry about that sort of thing.
Marvin Bagley
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 70 | 83.3 | 19 | 8 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
Put up a very good stat line, but got straight up abused by Mirotic. He will be hearing Nikola in his dreams for a while. Bagley does have elite athleticism for a big man and is capable of nice statistical lines like this, but his real-life NBA weaknesses may keep him from consistently getting high minutes. In dynasty leagues, show everyone in your league this boxscore and see if you can nab another rookie like SGA or Miles Bridges.
Anthony Davis
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 66.7 | 66.7 | 25 | 10 | 6 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 4 |
He’s officially a monster and if you drafted him #1 overall, congrats on not screwing it up. He did all of the above in 26 minutes. Besides the poor FT, there’s not a lot to say besides, enjoy the ride.
Nikola Mirotic
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 66,7 | 50 | 36 | 9 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 |
The poor FT and lack of stocks kind of sucks, but Niko beasted out and consistently owned Bagley. He’s finally in the right system and working off of AD can be such a sweet thing. He’s going to exceed most expectations this season and feel glad if you rostered him.
Jrue Holiday
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 45.5 | 83.3 | 15 | 6 | 10 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
Now this is a little more like it. After disappointing in the first game, Jrue stepped it up tonight. The scoring will improve soon as well. A big game could be here any day now.
Elfrid Payton
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 71.4 | NA | 11 | 6 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
Elf was due to come back to earth a little. Still, he played well, but this is more like what we can expect moving forward. Ian Clark played well and could eventually start taking more minutes.
Julius Randle
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 50 | 0 | 13 | 14 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Physical inside play, beating up on Kings big men, Randle swallowed up 14 boards. This frontcourt is looking imposing. Hitting a 3 was nice, but 0-for-4 from the line? Come on Julius.
Victor Oladipo
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 43.5 | 66.7 | 25 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
Solid scoring, but inefficient, Oladipo did ok, but we expect better! A rebound game is on the horizon.
Myles Turner
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 41.7 | 100 | 11 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 |
Yuck. This is exactly what I was worried about after watching Turner play passive in the preseason. I guess it’s an ok time to buy low, but based off his recent effort, be careful with your expectations.
Tyreke Evans
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 40 | 50 | 10 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
Classic utility line that contributes a little bit everywhere. Tyreke should be posting lines like this all season.
Domatas Sabonis
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 66.7 | 100 | 12 | 13 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 |
He doesn’t’ get blocks, steals or 3, but he devours boards and is super efficient. Sabonis is part of the reason I worry about Turner moving forward. He’s not as dynamic, but he’s looked good overall when given the chance.
Giannis Antetokounmpo
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 52.2 | 66.7 | 26 | 15 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 |
Honestly, kind of a sloppy, but effective game for Giannis. 0-for-7 from 3? Really? The 6 turnovers are just reckless. Otherwise, you’re looking at MVP level numbers.
Khris Middleton
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 46.7 | 66.7 | 23 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 3 |
Middleton played well and went off for 5-for-9 from 3. He’s a great SG that you could have drafted in the early 3rd round and is always a threat for top 20 level play.
Eric Bledsoe
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 55.6 | NA | 12 | 6 | 7 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
Bledsoe had an efficient but quiet game. Triple 2’s are always fun to see. Bledsoe continues to be underrated in fantasy circles. He obviously is a multi-cat contributor.
Malcolm Brogdon
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 66.7 | 100 | 15 | 4 | 7 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 2 |
Brogdon is starting to pull Bledsoe-like lines, with good counting stats and contributions everywhere. He may have been slept on in drafts due to all of the high profile players in Milwaukee.
Jayson Tatum
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 37.5 | 100 | 16 | 9 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 5 |
A letdown was pretty predictable after opening night. Tatum still performed admirably, but Kawhi was bound to shut this thing down. So maybe he’s not Kobe yet, but his upside is insane.
Kyrie Irving
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 50 | NA | 21 | 4 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Kyrie had a good scoring outing, but for some reason didn’t manage any free throws. It might be kind of a squeeze this season, as this team is so stacked. Kyrie can be elite, but all of the depth makes it tough to trust him completely.
Gordon Hayward
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 46.2 | 100 | 14 | 7 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Hayward is still working his way back after last seasons gruesome opening day injury, but this was a solid line. He’ll recover but it might be slow. Coach Stevens does not need to rush him to 30 minutes.
Al Horford
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 41.7 | 100 | 14 | 10 | 9 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 3 |
Now this is a stacked stat line. Horford could have been a little more efficient, but I think fantasy GMs will quickly forgive any inefficiencies with a great overall performance and near triple-double.
Kyle Lowry
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 62.5 | 50 | 15 | 6 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 |
The scoring is a letdown after game 1, but Lowry always finds ways to contribute. He should start to score more and pick up some steals.
Serge Ibaka
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 71.4 | 0 | 21 | 6 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Ibaka looks great next to Kawhi. He’s never getting back to his big time block days, but he can contribute elsewhere. He’s playing better than I expected, but Jonas may eventually start taking more or a role.
Danny Green
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 62.5 | NA | 14 | 5 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
The old glory days could be coming back in Toronto for DG. That’s 2 good games in a row and I would not hesitate to add him from waivers if I needed help in stocks.
Paul George
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 25.9 | 100 | 20 | 8 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 3 | 3 |
PG13 was having serious issues getting his shot to drop. Otherwise another very nice game.
Steven Adams
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 72.7 | 50 | 17 | 18 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The points and boards are great. The rest nonexistent.
Tobias Harris
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 45.5 | 50 | 26 | 10 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
A great showing by Tobias. As a 4th round guy, Harris has upside that could vault him into the top 30 conversation. 4-for-8 from the charity stripe is a bummer though.
Danilo Gallinari
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 62.5 | 66.7 | 26 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 0 |
The efficiency and scoring looked great. Haters will just say wait for the injury, but he might not get hurt. Right? He was generally a later round flier and could have top 50 upside.
Kevin Durant
| FG% | FT% | Points | Reb | Assist | Steal | Block | 3PM | TO |
| 56 | 100 | 38 | 9 | 7 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
Durant was amazing, as always. The crazy efficiency will always help keep Durant in the elite level. He’s so good that its almost kind of boring.
Steph Curry

With a stroke as pretty as Nermal, Curry just makes everything look so easy. I wonder if he’s ever gone 0-for-1 from the line before. He was probably underrated in drafts, but if you nabbed him, just enjoy the ride. He is so fun to watch and roster.
Draymond Green

Dray was getting chippy in this game. He continues to offer interesting stats for a big. Scoring will never be his forte or role at GS. Enjoy all of the other stats.
Joe Ingles

Ingles went off tonight, hitting 7 3’s and offering a fabulous stat line. Not the most exciting player, but he does what needs to be done to win. He’s super underrated and contributes in every cat.
Donovan Mitchell

Not his best shooting performance, but Donovan can expect a nice leap again this year as he fully takes on the lead role for the Jazz.
Rudy Gobert

Uh oh. Somebody learned how to hit a respectable free throw percentage…Is there anything that’s as much of a scary, yet sure thing as Gobert holding the ball with both hands jumping into the air to dunk and forming a C with his body. Beast.
