• Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 34 points on 13-of-19 shooting (1-of-2 3PTs, 7-of-10 FTs) with 12 rebounds, five assists, five steals, two blocks and six turnovers in the Bucks’ 118-101 win over the Cavs on Tuesday.

    Get ready for some Alphabet mania!  He has moved up to No. 4 and 5 in 8- and 9-cat leagues, respectively.  As for the numbers, he’s taking 3.5 more shots than last year, making them at a 2.1 percent better clip and also hitting his free throws at 78 percent (up from 72.4).  Yes, those number beg for regression and so do his 4.0 combined steals and blocks per game (up from 2.6 last year).  We can quibble over the increases in rebounds and assists but we’ll just give Giannis credit for those, and in the end owners have to decide if this type of jump is sustainable.  If it is — he truly is a freak, even in relation to other jumps from star players.  It won’t be comfortable but the book says that this is a sell-high moment in a big win against LeBron and Co.
