Los Angeles: So, did you catch the game? Max Strus really turned it up for the Cavaliers against the Lakers. After a slow start to the season, he finally showed what he can do.
He dropped 15 points, dished out four assists, and even snagged a couple of blocks. The highlight? He hit three 3-pointers in just over two minutes during the third quarter. Pretty impressive, right?
Now, he’s not a must-add player just yet, especially since the Cavs have a break until they face Dallas on Friday. But with his minutes going up, it feels like he’s on the verge of breaking into the starting lineup again.
And hey, there were some other players worth mentioning from Tuesday’s games. Payton Pritchard from the Celtics had a solid outing with 19 points and a bunch of rebounds and assists. He’s still under 60% rostered, so he might be a good pickup.
Then there’s Stephon Castle from the Spurs. He stepped in when Jeremy Sochan got hurt and put up decent numbers. Keep an eye on him, especially if Sochan can’t go.
Also, John Konchar and Luke Kennard from the Grizzlies are stepping up with some key players out. They both had solid games, so they could be worth a look if you need some help.
Overall, it’s a good time to check your fantasy roster and see if any of these guys can help you out!
