With Trae Young resting on the second leg of a back-to-back, Nickeil Alexander-Walker slid into the starting lineup and delivered his second straight 20-point performance. He finished with a team-high 23 points (7-of-18 FG) in Friday's loss to San Antonio, adding four assists, two rebounds, and two triples.
Fantasy Impact:
This effort follows a 28-point explosion off the bench on Thursday, proving the guard can produce regardless of his role. While Young is expected to reclaim his starting spot, Alexander-Walker's recent scoring surge suggests he remains a viable standard-league asset who should see significant minutes even as a reserve.
