Desmond Bane shot 8-of-17 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers, accounting for 23 points, six rebounds, four assists, and six three-pointers in 37 minutes.
Bane was scalding hot to begin Wednesday’s game, scoring 16 first-quarter points on 6-of-7 shooting from the field. Unfortunately for him and fantasy managers, that flurry was the highlight of Bane’s night. He would score seven points the rest of the night, racking up more turnovers (four) than made field goals (two) during the final three quarters. However, despite that in-game fall from grace, Bane has provided top-25 value in eight-cat formats over the past month. After getting his college jersey retired during the All-Star break, Bane will look to bounce back on February 20 when the Grizzlies visit the Pacers.
