5. KP Is Rested
Let’s face reality, shall we? Kristaps Porzingis has been running on fumes.
The young Latvian rookie sensation has been noticeably tired in the second half of games. Since KP came down with an upper respiratory infection in December, he started to sport a compressed black undershirt and less impressive basketball.
After shooting .432 from the floor and averaging a monstrous 9.9 rebounds in November, young Porzingis slipped to .418 from the floor and just 6.4 rebounds per contest in December.
Perhaps the much needed week off will do the slim KP good.
