Paolo Banchero leads Magic with 30 points in narrow loss Monday

Paolo Banchero finished Monday’s 131-129 loss to the Mavericks with a team-high 36 points (13-25 FG, 4-8 3PT, 6-11 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, and two steals across 39 minutes.
Fantasy Impact:
Banchero lit it up scoring the rock on Monday against the Mavs but unfortunately wasn’t able to lead his team to victory. This was the third time in January alone that the Duke product has scored 35 or more points. While scoring isn’t an issue for Banchero, his struggles with foul shooting and turnovers very much are. It has heavily impacted his overall fantasy value and is a major reason why he currently sits outside of the top 100 players in category formats. He'll need to clean up his all-round game if he wants to climb the ranks. Next up for Banchero and the Magic is an away game against the Spurs on Wednesday.
