Z.Williamson o3.5 TOs+105

🎙️ Discussed on @CashThatPodcast The Pelicans host the Orlando Magic tonight in what could be a defensive slugfest. Without Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson has taken on a significant role as a primary facilitator for his teammates. He has seen his assists and Usage spike but he’s also seen his turnovers jump from 2.5 per game to 3.9 per game. In 10 games this season without Ingram he has recorded 3 turnovers in all of them with 4+ in six of those games. Dating back to last season, he recorded 4 or more turnovers in 17/26 games without Brandon Ingram. The increased Usage comes at a slight efficiency cost. Here, he gets a brutal matchup against the Orlando Magic’s defense who force the second-most Turnovers per game. I expect Zion to exceed 3.5 Turnovers tonight.

Featured Insight
The Magic have allowed a TS% of 48% in close and late situations this season -- T-9th-best in the NBA; the Pelicans has a TS% of 47% in close and late situations this season -- 4th-worst in the NBA.
