Adebayo Accounts for 22 Points, 13 Rebounds vs. Boston
Bam Adebayo accumulated 22 points (7-of-18 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocked shots in 34 minutes in Sunday’s 110-106 loss to Boston.
Already playing without Jimmy Butler, the Heat lost Josh Richardson and Terry Rozier during Sunday’s defeat. That put more responsibility upon Adebayo’s shoulders, and the All-Star center responded. While unable to lead the Heat to a win, Bam’s 22 points were the most he’s scored in a game since January 21. Also, Adebayo’s 13 rebounds matched his total in wins over Orlando and San Antonio. While the Heat only playing three games during Week 17 is bad news for fantasy managers, that may be a good thing for a team that has been hit hard by the injury bug.
Giannis Puts up 36/18/5/3/2 Line vs. Denver
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 36 points (14-of-19 FGs, 8-of-14 FTs), 18 rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks in a 112-95 win over the Nuggets on Monday. He had an excellent start to the game on Monday and had 26 points at halftime.
While he didn’t add much more to his scoring total after the break, he was able to stuff the stat sheet across the board. He had his usual struggles from the free throw line, but that is something that fantasy managers are used to. After two straight quiet performances due to lopsided scoreboards, Giannis was able to get back on track in this game. They play again against the Heat on Tuesday before heading to Memphis to play on Thursday.
