Marco Belinelli Playing Best Basketball Of Season
6 years agoSan Antonio Spurs shooting guard Marco Belinelli scored 19 points, grabbed five rebounds, doled out three assists and came up with two steals off the bench in Friday's victory over the Timberwolves. The 12th-year pro was 5-for-14 from the field and 3-for-8 from beyond the arc as well as 6-for-6 from the charity stripe. He played a season-high 34 minutes as DeMar DeRozan (ankle) sat out the game. The 32-year-old has now scored in double-figures in five straight games, which ties a season high, and the five rebounds are his second most this season. Belinelli is averaging 19.8 points (14.8 points in January) and 3.8 three-pointers while shooting 53.3 percent from the field along with 55.6 percent from long distance over his last five games. Since the former first-round draft pick doesn't provide much besides points and three-pointers, he doesn't have much fantasy value. However, fantasy owners that could use a boost in those areas should look to nab him off the waiver wire while he is on this hot streak.
