"The second week of the NBA season is behind us and some fascinating statistical trends have already jumped out. It's worth paying close attention, because what's happening now could shape the early-season landscape. That's what this column is about. We'll start with a high-altitude view of the league and then zoom in on the details that matter. We have to talk about Giannis Antetokounmpo, who's off to a historic start this season."
"Over his past three games, he's been outstanding as a top-three fantasy producer, averaging 28.0 points, 12.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game. His performance against Orlando on Oct. 29 was his most impressive yet, as he became the first player in Pistons history to record at least 30 points, 10 assists, three steals and three blocks in a game."
Early-season NBA statistical trends are already influencing fantasy production and team narratives. Giannis Antetokounmpo has started the season with six straight games of at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists, averaging 34.0 points on 68.1% shooting through six contests and 67.1 fantasy points per game. Cade Cunningham has averaged 28.0 points, 12.0 assists and 2.0 steals over his past three games, including a historic Pistons performance of 30 points, 10 assists, three steals and three blocks. Luka Doncic recorded a recent triple-double that was the 83rd of his career, ranking seventh all time.
