DeMar DeRozan has the Raptors’ Basketball Reference page looking crooked. To the dismay of no one but Mike James, Friday’s game marked the fifth-straight game in which DeRozan surpassed the 30-point mark. It is, per Elias, the first such stretch since a dude named Michael put one together in 1986.
He’s been downright robotic with his efficiency, firing at a 55 percent clip from the field and posting a LeBronian PER through five games. Don’t let the 38.5 Usage Percentage or the fact that DeRozan is more than doubling his next closest teammate in point production fool you, though.
