    Milwaukee Bucks @ New York Knicks

    Game Total 243

    Key Storylines

    Donte DiVincenzo making the most of it – Despite averaging just over 20 minutes per game, he is producing more triples per game now than he has his whole career. However, because he has not seen the court as much as he did last year, he is down to just 3.0 rebounds per game (he did 4.5 last year) and 1.8 dimes, which is down from 3.5 assists last year. In a crowded backcourt, he has done enough to stay solidly on the streaming radar in 12-team leagues and if any of the guards goes down with an injury, DiVincenzo is going to be a must-roster.

    Lopez destroying his ADP – Go ahead and pat yourself on the back for drafting Brook Lopez. He was drafted in the seventh or eighth round but is providing second-to-third-round value in 9-cat. He might be a bit of a sell-high, however, with him averaging 3.0 blocks per game for the first time in his career. He did get a career-high 2.5 last season. Historically, Lopez has been between 1.5 and 2.2 for most of his career. However, a slight decrease in block production might be offset by a possible positive regression in rebounds. He is getting 4.9 per game right now but averages 6.2 for his career.

    Paul Williamson

    I grew up in Crosby, TX, just about 30 minutes east of Houston, TX. Yes, I am a major Houston Astros fan, and love my Texans and Rockets.

    I graduated Crosby High School in 2006 (Go Coogs!) and attended San Jacinto College (Go Gators!) before attending and graduating from Texas Tech in 2012 (Go Tech!). I got my degree in journalism.

    Throughout my academic life I was on some form of debate team, and it was the greatest experience of my academic career.

    Now I couldn’t be more happier. Sports Ethos is allowing to me to live a life long dream: to be a sports writer.
