Egor Demin's late-game theatrics nearly lifted Brooklyn to victory Wednesday before Paolo Banchero spoiled the script. The rookie buried what appeared to be the go-ahead triple in overtime, only to watch Banchero answer with the actual game-winner moments later. Demin finished with 18 points (5-of-9 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), five assists, five rebounds, five three-pointers, one steal, and one block in the loss to the Magic.
Fantasy Impact:
The scoring performance extends Demin's consistent stretch to eight double-digit outings in his last nine games while also leading Brooklyn in assists Wednesday. As the rookie accumulates more experience, his development continues trending upward, making him an intriguing player to watch in fantasy formats as the season progresses.
