Jrue Holiday’s contract is still insane, but if he keeps playing like he has been recently, it won’t be the worst one in the league. The Pelicans remain a big two with Davis and Cousins, but big three categorization is not too far off. 34 points for the second time in four games (typed out…

Ben Simmons 27 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (12/10/2017)
I might have to reinstitute my BEN SIMMONS JUMPER ALERT program. For a while there it seemed like he was hitting one every game, or even more than one, but I’m not really seeing them anymore from him. Where did they go? Obviously, they’re not a good shot for him at this point, but since…
Read MoreDoug McDermott 23 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)
When you see Doug McDermott highlights, what kind of shots do you expect are contained therein? Don’t answer dunks. If you answered dunks, either you’ve never seen him play or you saw one highlight of him dunking and got really confused. However, if you answered layups, you’d be wrong, but also right, because this video…
Read MoreMaxi Kleber 16 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)
Maxi “Klee-bah” Kleber is a nice surprise this year for the Mavericks. He’s not amazing or anything, don’t get me wrong, but he’s solid. Solid is what you want from your poops, and solid is what you want from your role players. Solidity is a good trait to have. I’m gonna start having to use…
Read MoreTrey Lyles Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)
Take that, Jazz fans and the entire state of Utah! You don’t have Gordon Hayward anymore, but you also don’t have Trey Lyles anymore! These 25 points are sounding pretty good, huh? 25 points could’ve really helped as Don’thavenovalue Mitchell was building a castle out of bricks last game, yeah? You want a stretch-four who…
Read MoreBogdan Bogdanovic 15 Points Full Highlights (12/10/2017)
Bogdan “BogBog” Bogdanovic is one of those players who looks great every time you get to see him on the court, but then you go look at his basketball-reference page and he’s not even doing that good? That’s just what happened to me, at least Having an aesthetic playstyle blinds a lot of people, including…
Read MoreTyler Cavanaugh 14 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Tyler Cavanaugh is like the new Mike Muscala for the Hawks, except Mike Muscala is still on the team so there are actually two Mike Muscalas in Atlanta now. Cavanaugh can do all the normal Muscala things: he can shoot threes as long as the volume of shots isn’t too high, he can rebound at…
Read MoreT.J. Warren 24 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
DTB’s Fun* Fact** of the Day***: T.J. “Warren Peace” Warren is currently third in the league in two-point field goal attempts, behind Giannis Antetokounmpo (duh) and LaMarcus Aldridge (wishing that Kawhi would be injured forever). He is also fourth in the league in two-point makes, behind those two dudes plus some scrub named LeBron James….
Read MoreAlec Burks 20 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2017)
Alec Burks is playing so well as of late that I might have to change my channel name, at least temporarily, to “DownToBurk”. If there wasn’t some rookie shooting guard who was stealing all his minutes, Burks would be the starter right now and he would probably be averaging 18 per game. Sadly for Burks…
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 22 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (12/9/2017)

In case you need a refresher course on ultra-advanced NBA analytics, per-36 stats are the best because it helps you compare players who play hella minutes to players who don’t play as hella minutes.
