Only three players in the NBA are averaging at least 20 field goal attempts per game this year, and tops in that group is Kemba Walker, averaging 20.8 per game. Walker also ranks third in the NBA with 10.2 3-point attempts per game, and the gap to fourth (8.8 per game) is a big one.
He's combining that huge volume with the highest effective field goal percentage of his career (.552), while he's also sporting a career-high assist rate (30.4%).
Doing huge offensive work like that, Walker's averaging a career-high 44.0 FanDuel points per game, which ranks 14th in the NBA and is the 3rd-highest among players in action tonight. He also brings that combination of volume and production into a prime matchup tonight against Cleveland.
The Cavs rank dead-last in defensive rating this season, and the .567 effective field goal percentage they have allowed opponents to shoot is the highest in the NBA by a huge margin. The gap between the Cavs and the next-highest is the same size as the gap between the 2nd and 12th-highest marks. Kemba is in a great smash spot tonight.
