Melton's Six Threes Power Victory in Curry's Absence
2 Nov
Summary
- De'Anthony Melton scored 21 points, grabbed six rebounds, and had three assists.
- He hit six three-pointers, his highest total since December 2022.
- Melton started in place of Stephen Curry, who was resting.
De'Anthony Melton showcased his scoring prowess on Sunday, tallying 21 points in a victory over the Clippers. He also contributed six rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block to the winning effort. Notably, Melton drained six three-pointers, his most successful outing from deep since hitting eight threes on December 9, 2022, during his time with the Philadelphia 76ers. This strong performance came as Melton started the game, filling in for Stephen Curry who was resting. While Melton's ability to perform exceptionally, particularly with his long-range shooting, makes him a popular choice in deeper fantasy basketball leagues, his starting role is temporary. Curry is expected to return to the lineup for Monday's game against the Suns, which will see Melton resume his position on the bench.
