Wednesday Recap

12 GAME WEDNESDAY NIGHT: HERE’S WHAT I SAW:

Good luck to all fantasy managers as they jockey into the playoffs *(Basketball gods willing).

(*W) BUCKS -VS- WOLVES: No Greek Freak, nor Big Kat.

• Kris Middleton:
• Killa-Kris is capable of crisp kill shots.
• 27 on 9 for 15 shots is a sharp shooter’s smorgasbord.

27	8	7	1	–	3	3-7	9-15	6-6

• Brook Lopez:
• Splash Mountain does it all in Cheese city.
• Aging well like Gouda.

18	8	–	2	2	–	2-4	6-9	4-4

• Naz Reid:
• Got the start in big Kat’s behest.
• Sneaky STOCKS value when KAT sits.
• Only rostered in 12% of Yahoo leagues.
• Could be a savvy playoff run add….

PTS	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TOV	3PT	FG	FT
9	15	2	2	3	1	0-4	3-10	3-4

• Anthony Edwards:
• Ant-Man blasts mass amounts of spray. Inefficiently, but he shoots his shot.

PTS	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TOV	3PT	FG	FT
25	4	3	1	1	6	6-8	9-13	1-1

• Terry Rozier:
• Scary Terry has the green light with LaMelo shut down.
• His crossovers are dizzying in isolation.
• Q: How can a defender stay with Terry, when HE doesn’t know what he’s gunna do?
• For such a down-hill player, it is remarkable how little he gets to the charity stripe.
