ANALYSISDeRozan had an impressive showing Thursday and extended his productive stretch, as he's scored at least 20 points in four of his last six outings. Even though the veteran forward shares the bulk of the scoring load with
De'Aaron Fox and
Domantas Sabonis, DeRozan has a strong floor as a versatile scorer who can thrive even when he's not the main offensive option. He's averaging 23.3 points per game since the beginning of December, adding 3.7 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals per contest.
