Fantasy Impact
Banchero and the Magic were finally able to snap their six-game losing streak Thursday night. That doesn't mean Banchero has been struggling or anything. Quite the opposite actually, as the former No. 1-overall pick has reached 30 points in each of the last three games and four times over the last six games. In that span, Banchero has averaged 28.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game.
Banchero has averaged 37.5 points, 5.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.5 three-pointers across his last two games, and Tuesday's 36-point effort against the Cavaliers — 10-of-19 FGs, 13-of-15 FTs, six rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block, and three three-pointers — continued that dominant stretch.
Fantasy Impact
Five turnovers in a five-point loss are hard to overlook, but when the scoring and free-throw volume are at this level, the individual production is difficult to fault even when the team comes up short.
Paolo Banchero scored 39 points (13-27 FG, 4-9 3PT, 9-12 FT) to go along with four rebounds, six assists and one steal in the 128-126 loss for the Magic against the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact
Banchero dropped a season-high in points in the loss. He has continued to provide strong value for fantasy managers as a scorer.
