Fox Struggled on Monday vs. Hawks
De’Aaron Fox struggled on Monday and finished with just 12 points (5-of-16 FGs), three rebounds and one assist against the Hawks. Fox simply didn’t do much of anything in this game, but it didn’t end up mattering. He had one of his worst games of the season, and even if it was incredibly disappointing for fantasy managers, they were still able to come away with a win.
Even if it wasn’t on display in this game, Fox has been having an incredible season. He has made a dramatic improvement with his deep-range shot and is averaging a career-high 3.2 triples per game this season. He’ll look to get back on track in Golden State on Thursday.
Green Scores 12 Points in win over Hawks
Draymond Green finished Wednesday’s 134-112 win over the Hawks with 12 points (5-of-6 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and two 3-pointers in 23 minutes. Wednesday’s game was Green’s second since returning from suspension, and he looked more comfortable in his role. The veteran forward is still coming off the bench, but Wednesday’s performance proved he can provide solid value in that role. How long will Green remain in that role, especially with Kevon Looney offering little production as a starter? Looney does things that don’t appear in the box score. Still, Dario Saric’s offensive ability could give him the edge regarding sticking in the starting lineup if Green receives a “promotion” soon.
