Yaxel Lendeborg amassed 23 points (9-of-15 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 37 minutes in an overtime victory over the Magic on Saturday.
Lendeborg continues to be a revelation for Golden State, surpassing the 20-point plateau for the fifth time in 10 games to open his rookie campaign. He and franchise icon Stephen Curry combined for 64 points in a thrilling overtime victory, accounting for more than half of the Warriors’ offensive output. He came through in the clutch, scoring seven of his 23 points in overtime. The 24-year-old rookie sensation should be rostered in all fantasy formats, as he’s quickly establishing himself as a high-volume scoring threat in Golden State’s offense. The Warriors are in line for a three-game week that features matchups against the Pelicans, Rockets and Spurs.
