Fantasy Impact
Strawther has now started five consecutive games and has reached double figures in scoring in seven straight contests. After averaging 4.5 points in his first 26 games, Strawther is posting 15.3 points in eight games this month. Meanwhile, as a starter, he is scoring 17.3 points per game and his 16 shot attempts on Friday were the most by a Denver player.

Strawther has now started four straight games for Denver and has averaged 17.0 points in those four starts.
