He was 3-for-9 from three and also added six rebounds, five assists, and three steals. LaVine is averaging 24.6 points on the season despite a career-low 30.2 percent shooting mark from three.

Valuable Long Relievers of 2020 and the Lingering Impact (Part 1)

The circumstantial insanity of the 2020 MLB season necessitated some adjustments in strategy, both for big-league managers and fantasy baseball GMs. One of these adjustments, prompted by frequent doubleheaders and the three-batter minimum rule, was the greater use of long-relievers and a generally reduced workload for rotation pitchers. That makes sense from the perspective of […]
