Scoot Henderson accumulated 21 points (6-of-11 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, three blocks, and three 3-pointers in 31 minutes in Saturday’s 125-103 loss to Houston.
Rostered in 39% of Yahoo leagues, nights like Saturday are while Henderson can potentially be a “silly season” star. Besides the turnover count (four), this was an outstanding night for the second-year point guard, who recorded his second double-double and established a new season-high with 11 assists. While Henderson’s standing in fantasy basketball rankings isn’t great, he’s a player who will be well worth the risk, especially after the trade deadline.
