There were plenty of notable headlines from Saturday’s 10 game slate. Detroit’s losing streak extended to 23 games in a blowout loss to Milwaukee. The record is 26 games, and their next four games are in Atlanta, at home against the Jazz, at Brooklyn and then at home against Brooklyn. Miles Bridges posted a -56 plus/minus in a blowout loss to the 76ers. Jimmy Butler and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander each hit game winning mid-range shots. Cam Thomas scored 41 in a loss to the Warriors. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 40 in a win over Indiana. Luka Doncic recorded a 40/12/10 line. Keegan Murray nearly made history by scoring 47 points and knocking down 12 triples. He hit all of them through the first three quarters, but he wasn’t able to break Klay Thompson’s record of 14. It was a fun day of hoops, and there will be five more games to close out the week on Sunday, including two afternoon matchups. Make sure you set your lineups early!
Brandin Podziemski- 29% rostered in Yahoo leagues
In his second game since taking over Andrew Wiggins’ starting spot, Podziemski put up 19 points, five rebounds, five assists, three steals, one block and four 3-pointers. He had a poor shooting night in his first start, but his one went much better. Wiggins played well in this game, but Podziemski really isn’t in danger of losing the starting spot anytime soon.
Eric Gordon- 34%, Grayson Allen- 23%
Bradley Beal is set to miss “several weeks” after suffering an ankle injury on Friday night. Gordon is expected to return to the lineup on Sunday, which means that both him and Allen will be worth rostering until Beal is back. Allen has provided top-100 value in 9-cat leagues this season, while Gordon is currently sitting just outside the top-100.
T.J. McConnell- 10%
With Tyrese Haliburton sidelined on Saturday after suffering a knee contusion on Friday, McConnell got the starting nod. He contributed 10 points, four rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block in 26 minutes. If Haliburton remains sidelined for Monday’s game against the Clippers, McConnell will be worth streaming again.
Caris LeVert- 49%
