Ithiel Horton - Struggles from the floorHorton provided four points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 64-61 victory over East Carolina.
ImpactHorton was unable to find his rhythm in Wednesday's win, making just two shots from the floor and missing all four of his three point attempts. The 6-foot-5 guard managed to help in other aspects of the game to make up for his offensive woes, dominating on the glass. Horton collected eight rebounds for the second straight game, including an offensive rebound. Averaging 4.0 rebounds per game, Horton has been helping on the glass in a much bigger way than usual over the last couple of games.

C.J. Kelly - Reaches 30 pointsKelly contributed 30 points (9-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 64-61 win over East Carolina.
ImpactKelly reached 30 points for the first time this season. Wednesday marked his third game of the season finishing with 20 or more points, shooting very efficiently in the close win. Kelly had been struggling over the past few games leading up to Wednesday, shooting just 33.3 percent from the field before his impressive shooting performance. Through 15 games, Kelly is averaging a team leading 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Wynston Tabbs - Unimpressive across game startedTabbs accumulated five points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 64-61 loss to UCF.
ImpactTabbs failed to score at least 10 points during each of his last six games played. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if he is excluded across East Carolina's starting lineups, despite the inclusion on Wednesday.
JANUARY 5, 2023•ROTOWIRE
Kalib LaCount - Plays 13 minutesLaCount had two points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 64-61 loss to UCF.
ImpactDespite being part of East Carolina's starting lineup in place of Javon Small, LaCount played fewer minutes than his older teammate. The freshman is expected to continue being a backup.
