Bruno Caboclo Scores 21 Points On Career-High 14 Shot Attempts
Memphis Grizzlies small/power forward Bruno Caboclo finished his strong close to the season on the offensive end of the floor during Wednesdays win over the Golden State Warriors with 21 points on 8-for-14 shooting. The 14 shots were the most Caboclo has gotten up over his five-year career, ending the season on a run of making multiple triples in four consecutive games and in eight of his final nine. He appears to be a piece of Memphis rotation moving forward, although his fantasy prospects for next season are still to be determined.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Bruno Caboclo's strong outing against the Thunder wasn't a fluke. Against the Warriors on Wednesday night, Caboclo finished with 17 points on 7-for-13 shooting to go along with 13 rebounds, three assists, and a pair of blocks. He also made three of his four attempts from deep. With a plus matchup against the Suns on the docket for Saturday, Caboclo should be in line to continue his improved play and represents a strong value play in DFS lineups.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Bruno Caboclo -- best known for being referred to as being "two years away from being two years away" when he was first drafted by Toronto -- has emerged as a quality NBA player this season and in Monday's win against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Caboclo showed why he might finally stick in the league. The Brazilian forward scored a team-high 24 points on 8-for-13 shooting and also added 11 rebounds. It was Caboclo's best scoring night of his career and the four three-pointers he made were also a career-high. Memphis faces a strong Warriors team on Wednesday and while fantasy owners in season-long playoffs might not want to take a chance on Caboclo, he's an intriguing option in DFS for a Grizzlies team that doesn't have many weapons right now.
Memphis Grizzlies small forward Bruno Caboclo managed 11 points with four rebounds, two blocked shots, an assist and a steal over 29 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 106-103 victory against the Indiana Pacers. He went 3-for-5 from the field, including 3-for-4 from behind the three-point line, while adding 2-for-2 from the charity stripe. The Brazilian was just signed to a second 10-day contract on Jan. 24 due to several injuries among the Memphis bigs. He looked good and might stick around at this rate. Caboclo has some nice short-term fantasy appeal, especially with a four-game week coming up in Grind City.
