NBA Market Share Report: Can We Bet on Bismack Biyombo?
Ice Cold Lou
Following the ruckus that went down between the Houston Rockets and Clippers on Monday, Los Angeles point guard Patrick Beverley tweeted out the very poetic, “It’s a different culture in LA. No more soft [expletive] here!!!!!”
There’s probably more to unpack there than we think, but one thing is for sure: when it comes to on-court production, Lou Williams appears to be fully embracing the team’s new attitude.
Over the course of the last month, Sweet Lou has been a top-20 fantasy producer, averaging more than 40 FanDuel points per game, thanks in large part to a hot shooting stroke that’s netting him 30 points a night on 47 percent shooting, including 44 percent from deep.
From a value standpoint, it’s important to keep tabs on Williams’ rising salary. He’s reached at least five-times value in 8 of his last 14 games, 2 of which included the 40 and 50 points he dropped on the Charlotte Hornets and Golden State Warriors, respectively. But we’ve also seen his salary reach as high as $9,500 just last week, which is a figure that feels too pricey.
