Khaman Maluach accounted for 11 points (4-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer in Monday’s loss to the Spurs.
Maluach and starting center Oso Ighodaro (7/4/2) were overwhelmed by San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama, an unsurprising development. The good news is that the second-year center scored in double figures for the second time this season while shooting the ball well from the field and the foul line. While expectations for Maluach weren’t sky-high before the season began, most fantasy managers assumed he would average more than 19.6 minutes per game. He hasn’t done enough to make the starting center job his, which has kept Maluach’s fantasy ceiling relatively low.
