Hawks' Dennis Schroder: Commits 10 turnovers in loss

Schroder posted 18 points (5-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six assists and two rebounds over 32 minutes in Wednesday's 104-100 loss to the Wizards.

Analysis:

Schroder posted the worst kind of double-double on Wednesday, scoring 18 points and coughing up the ball 10 times. That's more turnovers than the rest of the team put together, and that kind of sloppiness can have a devastating effect on a close game like this one. He averaged 3.1 turnovers a game leading up to this contest, so that number will shoot u after tonight. Otherwise, he is posting career-high numbers this season, averaging 17.7 points and 6.2 assists per game over 69 games, so he has undeniable value as Atlanta's top point guard. Atlanta is now in the midst of a five-game skid and will have their hands full against a hot Milwaukee team that's creeping up the standings. Regardless of the matchup, you still have to start Schroder if he is your best option.
