Jayson Tatum
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 27 | 5 | 4 | 1 | – | 2 | 5 | 10-21 | 2-2 |
Tatum is the man in Bean-town. The prince who assisted the former alpha in Kemba, has now taken the crown. All hail this efficient volume scorer! Starting to feel just like another regular game from Tatum. 21 shots in 37 minutes is the kind of usage that makes Tatum so valuable this season. His youthful pairing with Brown is a huge reason the Boston Celtics are now 6-3 out the gate.
Jaylen Brown
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 21 | 12 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 5 | 8-23 | 2-2 |
Brown gets down from A-Z on this line. Would love to see his 8/23 from the field be more efficient, but a 2-way line like this shows the effort Brown puts into his craft. 37 minutes and high usage equal ditto for this assassin. JB’s dominant performance helped edge tonight’s 107-105 win over the Heat.
Payton Pritchard
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 6 | 6 | 4 | – | – | – | – | 3-10 | – |
Fairly ho-hum line tonight from an underrated, undrafted rookie sensation. Danny Ainge has been a fan of his fellow Oregonian for years, and evidently, Brad Stevens thinks so too. While Kemba sips cool-aid courtside, this savage guard continues to impress. This is but the second game of the season that Payton didn’t glove at least one steal. Sneaky value, a la T.J. McConnell.
Jimmy Butler
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 26 | 8 | 3 | – | 3 | 1 | – | 9-19 | 8-9 |
He’s Baaaaaaack……..Mamma grab your kids and run inside, because Jimmy has returned. 26/8 in 33 minutes is great, ut what makes this man so effective is his 8-9 from the line. Elite charity work makes him a real model citizen. Ok mom, bring your kids out to meet this nice man.
Bam Adebayo
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 15 | 8 | 10 | – | 2 | 2 | – | 5-11 | 5-6 |
This kid gets down in every way almost every night. What a blast is Bam! Alllllllmost messed around…..10:2 Assist to turnover ratio tonight is gold.
Tyler Herro
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 8 | 7 | 1 | – | – | 2 | 1 | 2-8 | 3-5 |
There’s a youth takeover happening as we speak in Miami. Herro is slowly supplanting his mentor, the Dragon *(Dragic with 14 and 2 tonight in 28 min). Herro started tonight and played 34 minutes. The rebounds were nice. Other than that, a fairly lackluster showing as the future starting PG.
Duncan Robinson
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 16 | 6 | 2 | 1 | – | – | 5 | 5-11 | 1-1 |
Classic Robinson line. High efficiency from this sharpshooter. He shows effort to compete and thus is rewarded with 31 minutes tonight.
Mike Conley Jr.
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 9 | 4 | 6 | 1 | – | 3 | – | 3-14 | 3-4 |
Conley looked pretty poor out there this evening. Errant passing and forced shots led to a paltry 3-14 in 28 minutes. Are his wheels coming off? Utah needs his scoring punch and facilitation.
Rudy Gobert
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 14 | 12 | 2 | – | 5 | 1 | – | 7-9 | 0-3 |
Rudy was in the trenches tonight with young stud Mitchel Robinson. He still faired well in 34 minutes in this heated, scrappy bout with NYK.
PS; Covid-19 miiiiiight be Rudy’s fault. ahem…..jus’ Sayin’.
Donovan Mitchell
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 18 | 4 | 4 | 1 | – | 4 | 2 | 8-23 | – |
Fairly ho-hum game from Spider in 36 minutes. He does so many impressive athletic feats out there, but 8-23 from your best scorer can be tough. Makes losing to New York possible in this case.
Jordan Clarkson
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 19 | 3 | 2 | 1 | – | – | 3 | 7-12 | 2-2 |
Efficient one-dimensional 6th man extraordinaire, Clarkson is in such a great role in Utah. He can score no matter the weather, the game score, or the season. He gets buckets and does so for a team that desperately needs scoring. Hot Take: He may end up a candidate for 6th man of the year.
Joe Ingles
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 16 | 2 | 3 | – | – | 4 | 4 | 6-13 | – |
Savvy Aussie J’Ingles can do things. He can stroke the long ball, bring up the ball in a pinch, and guard decently. Tonight at 28 minutes, he along with Clarkson round out Quin Snyder’s 7 man rotation. Jingle bells Jingle Bells, Jingle all the ……
Julius Randle
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 30 | 16 | 7 | – | – | 5 | – | 10-26 | 10-12 |
The Knicks are a circus, and Randle is their top flight tight rope walker. He will dazzle and frazzle, wheel and appeal, then banana peel. He will make you laugh, cry, and curse in the same quarter. One thing is for sure, Coach Thibs will ride this pony. 38 minutes tonight and 26 shots are Randle Unleashed.
Mitchell Robinson
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 9 | 13 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | – | 4-6 | 1-2 |
Mitch is the All-Defense to compliment the All-Offense of Randle. It just may work. At 4-3, the Knicks may surprise some teams this year on some nights, like tonight with the 112-100 win over Utah. Mitch does all the dirty work and fills it up. 41 minutes tonight for Mitch is buffet deluxe. Hot Take: Expect NBA All-Defense 1st Team for MitchRob.
Elfrid Payton
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 22 | 2 | 8 | 1 | – | 1 | – | 10-15 | 2-2 |
Lovely line from Elf. The 12 days of Christmas may have ended yesterday, but this Elf keeps on dishing gifts. 22 and 8 on 10-of-15 shooting in 42 minutes are robust and a winning type of effort.
Austin Rivers
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 23 | 3 | 2 | 2 | – | 1 | 5 | 9-14 | – |
Getting his legs under him as he returns to full strength, one can see the niche that Rivers can fill on this defensive-heavy roster. His 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting is a winning combo in 32 minutes from your 6th man. Indeed, he will be their X-Factor this season. Can he stay consistent? If so, he’s got a green light in the Big Apple. Bite it, Austin, Bite it.
Shai Gilgeous Alexander
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 21 | 5 | 9 | 5 | – | 2 | 2 | 7-17 | 5-6 |
Top dog in Rebuild City. He’s the 22-year wonder kid who will rise up with this franchise. Can do a bit of it all. 36 minutes on his young legs, sure. All year long expect a heavy workload and a commensurate heavy payload. S.G.A. is pay dirt.
Darius Bazley
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 20 | 12 | 3 | 1 | – | 3 | 3 | 8-20 | 1-1 |
The growing pains for this young duo will be there, but man the bones are there! Such upside for this dynamic duo. Not sure if Bazley is the Robin to S.G.A.’s Batman, but this duo can light it up. 8-20 is a bit rough, but he is consistently putting up numbers this year. Tonight’s 33 minutes should be about his average.
Mike Muscala
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 18 | 3 | 1 | – | 1 | – | 5 | 6-9 | 1-1 |
“Moooooooooose!” I know, it’s fun to yell! Muscala is a steady, savvy stretch 4 vet that can demonstrate rugged 3-D to these whippersnappers. At 20 minutes tonight, he is OKC’s de facto 6th man.
Steven Adams
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 10 | 11 | 10 | 1 | – | 2 | – | 4-5 | 2-5 |
“We stay on point like Steven Adams……… Steven Addddams”. Yes, we got a real-life triple-double. Adams messed around!! Whoohoo! Got to love the lunchpail mentality of this Savvy Kiwi. Will 34 minutes like this evening be sustainable to his “old” 28-year-old legs? TODAY= TRIPLE DOUBLE!
Brandon Ingram
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 24 | 11 | 4 | – | – | 2 | – | 9-15 | 6-6 |
Dude is unconscious…..Like he ate a magic brownie before the tip. His eyes seem in another world. He could not be bothered to play any defense. That said, he can score 24 in his sleep. Ingram is now a perennial All-Star. 35 minutes and 11 rebounds solidify his scoring as an elite weapon.
Zion Williamson
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 29 | 6 | 1 | 3 | – | 23 | – | 12-17 | 5-6 |
Zion the chosen one brings the golden ticket to the Crescent City. 29 points in 32 minutes on 12-17 shooting are elite. Tonight he even sprinkled some holy objects he snagged on his way from paradise to bless us with his shine. Shine on Zion. #OneLove.
Andre Drummond
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 19 | 15 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5 | – | 9-16 | 1-4 |
Is it just me or does Drummond seem flat this year, thus far? Only a beast such as he could put up 19 and 15 and have me say “Flat.” But is he hungry to maintain the 20 and 20 with 3 steals and 3 blocks we are so used to? We shall see. He’s still the ultimate rebounder. 26 minutes and 5 turnovers are both a little brow raising.
Collin Sexton
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 21 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 1 | – | 3 | 8-20 | 2-2 |
Colin is a blur and really attacks the paint. Getting low and agile, he drives at the rack so effectively. Orlando did a good job holding him below his averages of 25/2/6.3 on 55% Fg and 81% from the line. Have yourself a year, Colin.
Terrence Ross
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 20 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 6-9 | 3-4 |
T. Ross can ball. Shoots with the best of them and plays wiry defense. When not shelved with some sort of lower leg issue, he’s money. He is a fast money machine, getting 20 points tonight in but 21 minutes. With Fultz hurt tonight *(see below) TRoss will fly high.
Markelle Fultz
Big blow in tonights opening quarter as Fultz went to the basket, his left knee buckled in a non-contact play. It has now been announced that Fultz has suffered a torn A.C.L. Rest up brother.
Dwayne Bacon
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 19 | 2 | 1 | – | – | – | 2 | 8-14 | 1-1 |
Bacon Sizzle! Dwayne showed while at the University of South Florida that he could be an efficient volume scorer. With Fultz now out indefinitely, and Michael Carter-Williams diagnosed with a sprained ligament in his left foot, there may be Sizzle pop for Bacon. Starting hot at 6′ 2″, Coach Steve Clifford will rely heavily on the scoring of Bacon. Expect him to sustain tonight’s 31 minutes until the return of Carter-Williams.
Cole Anthony
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 8 | 4 | 3 | – | 1 | 3 | – | 4-12 | – |
Expect growing pains as this rook is thrust now into 32 minutes per game. He will have to find a way to creatively drive the ball and not just sit back for set shots. Can he handle the pressure of getting a lot more touches?
James Harden
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 15 | 4 | 12 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 1 | 5-14 | 4-4 |
The Good News: Houston has several go-to scorers.
The Bad News: Less Touches for Harden. Nevertheless, Harden being the diverse and acclaimed player he is, can still be effective working off-ball, playing defense, and rebounding. 39 minutes and 14 shot attempts is kind of shocking tonight.
John Wall
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 28 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 5 | – | 12-20 | 4-4 |
Hey, look! There’s where ~10 of Harden’s shots went.….Good for Wall, back from Achilles surgery to play 37 minutes tonight and be a force at both ends. He even was up blocking shots above the rim in vintage form. Houston is a bit of a miracle tonight, starting Wall, David Nwaba, and DeMarcus Cousins. All three recovered from Achilles surgery to start in tonight’s game! Kudos guys! But is it wise of Coach Silas to run them 37, 37, and 23 minutes respectively? We shall see how they handle load management.
DeMarcus Cousins
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 9 | 14 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2-9 | 1-2 |
Boogie still got to boogie. He’s a monster for counting stats and a belly buster on efficiency. He will, *(much like fellow Kentucky product, Julius Randle) delight and then frighten you on a regular basis. Sure 2-9 is not great but look at the juicy defense. He will fill in just fine on nights like this when Christian Wood is held out.
Eric Gordon
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 20 | 1 | 1 | – | 2 | – | 2 | 7-15 | 4-4 |
20 points on zero turnovers! 7-for-15 field goals in 33 minutes! Got to love it when the stars align for Eric to achieve his sixth man potential on nights such as these when he throws up 20 points like he’s supposed to. So far in 4 games, E. Gordon has thrown up 20 points in 3 games. Good thing, the 2-4 Rockets need his torch. More Fire!
Domantas Sabonis
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 22 | 12 | 4 | – | 1 | 5 | – | 9-14 | 4-6 |
Walking double-double. A big reason why this squad now sits at 6-2.
Myles Turner
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 2 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 8 | – | – | 1-6 | – |
Weird line! Only 2 points in 31 minutes somehow this game. Seems like Boogie kept him from scoring much. That said, Myles got a week’s worth of blocks! 8 Blocks in a game folks!
Victor Oladipo
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 18 | 9 | 2 | 1 | – | 2 | 1 | 6-20 | 5-8 |
Even on nights like this where he struggles, he still plays super duper hard for all 35 minutes. He keeps trying and grinding. His efficiency isn’t great, but the Pacers sit at 6-2.
Malcolm Brogdon
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 35 | 2 | 7 | 3 | – | 4 | 13-25 | 5-5 |
35 points in 39 minutes on 25 shots! What a night for Brogdon. Truly a masterful player who commands the offense and makes the right plays. Got to love a line like this to win the game for the Pacers.
Justin Holiday
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 20 | 5 | – | 1 | – | 1 | 3 | 6-9 | 5-5 |
Justin may be the least appreciated Holiday brother. Though he takes a back seat most nights on offense, he marks the best scorer on the wing each night and can guard point guards, shooting guards, and small forwards alike with his length and scrap. Tonight marks his first 20 point outing of the year. Love Justin’s understated game. Tonights 32 minutes off the bench shows his 6th man value on this roster.
Bradley Beal
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 60 | 7 | 5 | 1 | – | 4 | 7 | 20-35 | 13-15 |
This man was cookin’! A 6o Burger!!! Wow, this guy can shoot. Come up too close, and he blows by to the cup for a layup or 2 free throws. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Wow, what a treat to see him shine with this gem in 39 minutes. Ohhhhh Bradleyyyyyyyy. Scored 60 and lost….Alas…
Russell Westbrook
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 20 | 8 | 12 | 3 | 1 | 6 | 3 | 8-18 | 1-4 |
Russ West allllmost messed around. Russ has actually triple-doubled 4 of the first 6 games of the season! Unfortunately, his dislocated a finger tonight.
Davis Bertans
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 17 | 4 | 1 | 2 | – | 2 | 4 | 6-15 | 1-1 |
The third weapon in Washington is Bertans. He can stroke with the best of them. He is a tall and efficient sniper. Tonights 33 minutes of run and 15 shots show that Scotty Brooks favors this 6’10” Latvian killa.
Joel Embiid
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 38 | 8 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 11-20 | 13-13 |
Masterful production tonight by The Process. Tonight he brought that Cameroonian thunder. Volume, efficiency, and defense. Tonight he had it all cooking and it was enough to get the W.
Seth Curry
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 28 | 5 | 3 | – | – | 1 | 6 | 11-14 | – |
White Hot! He was cooking the Curry tonight. 28 points on 14 shots in 36 minutes with but 1 turnover is incredible. Curry has been a windfall for the defensive-minded 76er’s squad, who badly need his torch.
Ben Simmons
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 17 | 6 | 12 | 2 | – | 3 | – | 7-9 | 3-6 |
Ben’s ability to fill it up efficiently while running the offense is remarkable. A threat to mess around on any given night, he posted 17 on only 9 shots in 35 minutes of play.
Kyle Lowry
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 24 | 9 | 5 | 1 | – | 4 | 3 | 9-15 | 3-3 |
Kyle is such a spark plug. 37 minutes tonight with a solid line. Toronto keeps losing…
Pascal Siakam
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 32 | 9 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 11-21 | 9-14 |
What a line from Pascal. He has evolved into a complete player. Physical and cerebral. 9-14 FTA stands out. He was pissed to lose this game. At 1-6, Toronto may struggle to win games at times. Tonight’s loss to PHX is a bit of a turn of the tables.
Fred VanVleet
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 13 | 3 | 7 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 5-12 | 1-2 |
Not a bad line for FVV. We just expect more at this point, but the defensive stats help salvage this line.
O.G. Anunoby
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 18 | 8 | – | 1 | – | 1 | 3 | 8-10 | 1-2 |
Efficient line from Anunoby. He needs to stay aggressive and deserves more than 10 shots per game. 36 minutes and solid performances are now standard.
Chris Paul
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 12 | 3 | 8 | 2 | – | – | – | 4-12 | 4-4 |
Fairly pedestrian line from CP3. Still got the win. Can he sustain the 30 minutes he played tonight?
Jae Crowder
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 21 | 3 | 1 | 1 | – | 2 | 6 | 7-11 | 1-2 |
Jae was hot from deep this game. He’s always good for 34 minutes of hard play, even when his shot is off. On nights when he gets it going, lookout. He can turn it on and when he does, feed him. Feed Jae, feed him.
Devin Booker
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 24 | 1 | 6 | – | – | 1 | 3 | 6-14 | 9-10 |
Solid game for Booker. He had been struggling at the charity stripe. Good to see him go 10 times and nail 9 of them.
Deandre Ayton
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 11 | 12 | 1 | – | – | 2 | – | 5-8 | 1-1 |
Less pressure for the young big this season. With more firepower and some new savvy vets, he can stay in his lane and rebound and dunk the ball. Tonight’s 30 minute double-double is right in the zone for this year’s scoring load for Ayton. Would be nice to see him feast on defensive stats.
Gordon Hayward
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 44 | 7 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 15-25 | 10-12 |
Complete game from Gordon! 39 minute workload tonight helped the Hornets get the win over ATL. Gordon, when in health can do-it-all. Case in point.
P.J. Washington
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 9 | 10 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 3-8 | 2-2 |
P.J. can get his on limited touches. His two-way “glue game” helps his teammates even when he’s not involved in the offense. His across-the-board-ness makes this young stud special.
LaMelo Ball
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 16 | 8 | 5 | – | – | 1 | 2 | 6-12 | 2-2 |
Ball is starting to click. Ball On! 23 minutes tonight and 16 points on only 12 shots is a win……sorry ATL. Take Devonte’s job, kid.
John Collins
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 23 | 11 | 1 | – | 1 | 2 | – | 9-16 | 5-7 |
This guy is more than a high flyer. Efficiency, athleticism, and yes a serious vertical. He’s usually number two on the food chain after Ice Trae.
Trae Young
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 7 | 5 | 3 | 1 | – | 7 | – | 2-9 | 3-3 |
Charlotte coach James Borrego did a great job containing Ice Trae tonight. It is not often you see such a paltry performance from Young.
Kevin Huerter
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 19 | 5 | 6 | – | – | 1 | 5 | 7-15 | – |
Sometimes competition for playing time can light a fire under your butt. In this case, Huerter excelled in 32 minutes, while Bogdanovic struggled 2/2/3 in 18 minutes on 1-for-5 shooting. Get yours, Huerter…
Jerami Grant
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 31 | 10 | 1 | – | – | – | 2 | 9-20 | 11-11 |
Jerami is The Man in the Motor City. Move over Blake! 31 points in 35 minutes with only 1 turnover are great production. The volume is leading to less efficiency than his Denver Days….keep that in mind…
Saddiq Bey
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 20 | 10 | 3 | 1 | – | 1 | 6 | 6-10 | 2-2 |
Rookie break out game! Killian Hayes went down with a hip injury. Despite Hayes’ fanfare, it may be Bey who is coveted by Detroit this year! As Detroit is in a deep rebuild, expect Bey to get some leash moving forward. I expect tonight’s 24 minutes to be his average moving forward.
Brook Lopez
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 17 | 4 | 5 | – | 2 | 2 | 4 | 6-9 | 1-1 |
Tonight shows why Splash Mountain is such an elite 3-and-D player with maximum efficiency. Splash On, brooooo!
Khris Middleton
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 23 | 5 | 7 | – | – | 2 | 5 | 9-15 | – |
Great line in 31 minutes for Middleton. Does so much for this club.
Giannis Antetokounmpo
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 25 | 8 | 4 | – | 1 | 5 | 1 | 8-15 | 8-14 |
Fairly ho-hum for ABCD, but got the win. Getting to the line 14 times is a win. Only making 8 of them is …meh…
Bobby Portis
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 16 | 10 | 4 | 2 | – | 2 | 2 | 7-11 | – |
Portis has thus far been a wonderful fit for the Buck’s second unit. His 16 and 10 in 27 minutes places him as the Bucks’s 6th man going forward. Keep your eyes on the ball, Bobby.
Serge Ibaka
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 12 | 14 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 5-13 | 1-1 |
Solid all-around performance from Serge in 34 minutes.
Paul George
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 21 | 12 | 2 | 1 | – | 2 | 2 | 5-15 | 9-9 |
Solid all-around line for PG13. Great rebounds and FT attempts. Played team-high 38 minutes.
Kawhi Leonard
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 21 | 4 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 7 | – | 7-12 | 7-7 |
Decent line from The Klaw. Big takeaway is he played in both games of a back-to-back.
Stephen Curry
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 13 | 4 | 5 | 1 | – | – | 1 | 5-17 | 2-4 |
Fairly pedestrian night for Steph. 3 pointer wasn’t working and also did not find way much to the line.
Andrew Wiggins
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 19 | 1 | 3 | 1 | – | 1 | 2 | 8-12 | 1-1 |
Not a bad line from Wiggins. Would be nice to see him snag rebounds and play more defense, and get to the line….but…ya….fine…
Eric Paschall
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 19 | 3 | 1 | – | – | – | – | 7-14 | 5-5 |
Great line from this year’s Warriors’ 6th man. The ISO-King can do his work on the block, high screen, or in the mid-range. He does not need help to get his work in. The perfect 6th man role allows him to do his thing. 19 points in 20 minutes on only 14 shots are looking good.
Harrison Barnes
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 20 | 0 | 5 | 1 | – | 3 | 3 | 7-10 | 3-5 |
An efficient sprinkle of scoring and passing is what The Black Falcon offers. Not too sexy, but stable. Tonight got 37 minutes.
Richaun Holmes
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 24 | 8 | 5 | 1 | – | 1 | – | 10-11 | 4-6 |
Holmes dominates. He may be Sacramento’s most consistent weapon this season.
Marvin Bagley III
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 21 | 12 | – | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 8-14 | 2-2 |
Bagley’s first 20 point outing. May there be many more.
Tyrese Haliburton
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 17 | 7 | 6 | 3 | 1 | – | 3 | 7-15 | – |
This Rook is the real deal! Across the board stats, but with an unusually savvy, calm play style. This kid is going to climb up the rankings, guys. And with Fox out tonight with a hamstring pull, Tyrese may slide into the starting lineup faster than we had thought. Game on Kid! 34 minutes tonight…
Zach LaVine
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 32 | 7 | 6 | – | 1 | 6 | 3 | 13-24 | 3-5 |
Zack plays on another level than most mortals. He and Coby are this team’s volume gunners. 6 turnovers are the only ouchie on this line.
Coby White
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3 PTM | FG | FT |
| 36 | 3 | 7 | – | – | – | 4 | 15-23 | 2-2 |
Great line from White tonight in 39 minutes. After LaVine, he’s the next big dog in their offense.
