Zach LaVine scored 44 points on 16-of-30 during Saturday's win over the Cavaliers. He shot 16-of-30 from the field, going 5-of-12 from the three-point line and 7-of-8 on free throws. He grabbed 10 rebounds, had eight assists, and stole one ball over a team-high 39 minutes.
Fantasy Impact
LaVine's January has been the best scoring month of his entire career as he's now averaging 29.1 points. Overall he has been giving his owners top-10 value during the last month. He has reached the 20-point mark in all 14 games in January, scoring 30-plus seven times, and scoring 40-plus thrice. With Lauri Markkanen missing the next four-to-six weeks, it's crazy to think that LaVine's usage might go up. He's a must-start in all formats and is the lone bright spot on an otherwise dismal Bull's team.
