Harris Produces 21 Points in Loss to Pels
Tobias Harris produced 21 points (9-of-19 FG, 3-of-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, and three steals in Friday’s 103-95 loss to the Pelicans. With Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (concussion) out, Harris can serve as Philadelphia’s number one scoring option. In Friday’s match-up with the Pels, Harris looked to capitalize on the opportunity and ended the game with a pretty strong performance. New Orleans was in control for most of the game, but in the 4th quarter, the Sixers fought back to get the game within single digits. In the end, the Pelicans proved to be too much for Philadelphia’s banged-up squad. Look for Harris to have a spike in his production until Maxey and Embiid get healthy.
Brunson Finishes with 26 Points vs. Magic
Jalen Brunson (left knee contusion) finished Friday’s 98-74 win over the Magic with 26 points (11-of-19 FGs). He also had three rebounds, two assists, and four 3-pointers in 29 minutes. After essentially missing two games (he injured his knee during the first minute of Sunday’s win over Cleveland), Brunson was dealing with some restrictions on Friday. He looked sharp offensively, shooting above 50% from the field while leading the Knicks in scoring.
Next up for Brunson and the Knicks are two games against the 76ers. Jalen’s minutes limit meant that Miles McBride remained viable in deep leagues. He finished with 14 points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 18 minutes. If Brunson is a full go on Sunday, there won’t be much need to hold onto McBride if you have been streaming him.
