Andre Jackson Jr. vs Stephon Castle
In a 119-101 Spurs victory, Castle recorded his seventh double-double of the season after scoring 19 points on an efficient shooting night, 6-of-9 from the field, 1-of-2 from three and a perfect 6-of-6 from the free throw line, while dishing out 10 assists. Castle’s most impressive basket came when he broke down Giannis Antetokounmpo off the dribble.
Andre Jackson Jr. scored a season-high seven points on 1-2 shooting from three and went an unblemished 4-4 from the free throw line in 10 minutes. All of Andre’s minutes came in the fourth quarter when the Spurs had the game in hand.
Donovan Clingan
Clingan was one point shy of a double-double after scoring nine points and pulling down a game-high 12 rebounds in the Blazers 117-101 victory against the Atlanta Hawks. DC has posted 10+ rebounds in five out eight games during the month of January thus far.
