5 years agoAtlanta Hawks guard Trae Young had his third consecutive double-double, and fourth in five games, on Tuesday night. The sophomore guard put the team on his back and propelled them to a 125-121 win over the Denver Nuggets to snap a three-game losing streak. Young accounted for 42 points, 11 assists, four rebounds and one block. Those 42 points came on the back of a ridiculous 8-for-13 performance from three-point land. Young is currently making the leap, and fantasy managers that believed in him are being rewarded plenty. He was in total control of the game on Tuesday and is flourishing in the Warriors-East system that Atlanta has built around him and the rest of their young core. Young plays three games in four days to end Week 4 against the Suns, Clippers and Lakers. If he is able to continue results like Tuesday against those three teams, then he will have cemented himself in the upper echelon of fantasy basketball guards.--Euan Leith
