ImpactThe Cowboys were without Graham Ike (undisclosed), Xavier DuSell (hamstring) and Kenny Foster (COVID protocols) in this one, but it didn't matter the least bit against a sub-.500 San Jose State team that is still winless in Mountain West play. It was Maldonado who stepped up with the team short-handed, posting his third double-double in the last four games. Over that stretch, Maldonado is averaging 18.5 points, 9.8 assists and 6.5 rebounds, making him one of the most productive fantasy assets in the country. His 12 assists Wednesday were a new season high, bringing his season-long average up to 6.7 apg -- good for fifth in the country entering Thursday's slate of games. Of that top-5, Maldonado has the second-fewest turnovers, and he sports a 2.17 assist-to-turnover ration on the season.
