DeMar DeRozan plays facilitator in loss to Nuggets
by Dave Kluge | Bulls Correspondent | Thu, Aug 6th 9:38am EDT
DeMar DeRozan logged 18 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3PT, 8-9 FT), eight assists, five rebounds, two blocks, and a steal in Wednesday's 132-124 loss to the Nuggets.
Fantasy Impact:
DeRozan has been a bit hot and cold so far in the bubble. He started off with a great 27-point performance against the Kings, followed that up with 14 forgettable points against the Grizzlies, blew up for 33 against the Sixers, and then chipped in 18 on Wednesday in a loss to the Nuggets. With LaMarcus Aldridge out, DeRozan is the clearcut number one scoring option for the Spurs. He is averaging 22.2 points per game and Patty Mills's 11.6 is the next highest average for the team. Derrick White has stepped up as a nice number two option but DeRozan should see more opportunities to have high-scoring games in the future.
