Keon Ellis delivers defensive gems and 21 points in spot start
by Bruno Mulé | Kings Correspondent | Sun, Dec 28th 9:30am EST
Keon Ellis vaulted from the fringes of the rotation into the starting lineup on Saturday and immediately delivered a season-high 21 points (8-of-15 FGs), one rebound, three steals, two blocks, and five three-pointers in a win over the Mavericks.
Fantasy Impact:
After playing sparingly over the previous three games, Ellis capitalized on the opportunity by sinking 5-of-10 attempts from deep and providing elite defensive production. While head coach Doug Christie has frequently shuffled his lineups, this two-way performance likely earned Ellis another start for Sunday’s matchup against the Lakers. He is a worthy streaming option in deeper formats, especially given the favorable matchup against a struggling Los Angeles defense.
