Highs and Lows: Boucher, Timelord, Myles and more Oct 26, 2021

Show notes

After an eventful nine-game night in the NBA, Ryan Knaus (@ryanknaus) and Jared Johnson (@Jae_Tha_Truth) break down the best and worst performances with a fantasy slant. Is Chris Boucher's sparse playing time a temporary problem, or an existential threat to his value? Is it possible for Miles Bridges to maintain his red-hot start to the season? And does Nassir Little's recent play portend good things rest-of-season, or is it just circumstantial without Norman Powell (knee)? All that and much more is covered in Tuesday's Stew.
