Egor Dëmin scored 22 points on 5-of-10 shooting with 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 threes and 1 turnover in 31 minutes as a starter in Brooklyn's 125-121 loss to Cleveland on Saturday, October 24.

The line lifted Dëmin to 13.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 28.8 minutes through two games this season, up from 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 25.2 minutes last season (52 games). His 2.5 threes per game this season and the extra playing time offer nine-category value, and he is projected for 19.0 fantasy points a game in default points scoring.

Egor Dëmin

Dëmin's 22 points on Saturday exceeded his 10.3-point average from last season (52 games), when he shot 39.9 per cent from the field and 83.1 per cent from the line. He has started both games this season after starting 87 per cent of his outings last year. His usage sits at 20.6 per cent this season, but his true shooting has fallen to 20.0 per cent through two games.

Brooklyn has one game left this week, on Saturday, and none next week. Dëmin ranks 224th overall with a Roundup Score of 47 out of 99, and his projected 19.0 fantasy points per game in default points scoring suggest he remains a hold in most formats for now despite the scoring burst.

What to do

• Hold Dëmin in category and points leagues as his role stabilises through the opening weeks.

• Monitor his usage and shooting accuracy over the next handful of games to gauge whether the scoring spike is sustainable.

• Start him in deeper formats on Saturday, when Brooklyn closes out the week.
