Paolo Banchero flirts with triple-double, extends scoring streak
by Bruno Mulé | Magic Correspondent | Tue, Dec 23rd 9:05am EST
Paolo Banchero continued to operate as the engine of the Magic offense during Monday's loss to Golden State, tallying 21 points (7-of-19 FG, 7-of-8 FT), 12 rebounds, and seven assists.
Fantasy Impact:
Although he came up empty in the defensive categories, the star forward is enjoying his best scoring rhythm since early in the season. Monday marked his fourth consecutive game with at least 20 points, a feat he hadn't achieved since early November. This recent surge has helped elevate Banchero to eighth-round value over the last two weeks—a significant step up from his season-long baseline as he attempts to climb back toward his top-30 ADP. He will look to cap off the road trip with another strong showing on Tuesday against Portland.
