Collin Sexton was on a roll coming into this week, with 3 straight 20 point games capped off by a 29-Point, 6-Assist night in a win against the Wizards. This week, however, was a different story altogether, as he struggled across the board, averaging 13 Points and 1.6 Assists while shooting just 35.5% from the field.

While the scoring can fluctuate of course and Sexton hasn't shown much playmaking ability (averaging 2.6 assists a game), he's usually much more efficient shooting the ball (45% thus far).

He also saw his double-digit scoring streak since becoming a starter, which stretches back to 18 games, snap against the stifling Bucks defense last time around, but that's acceptable considering the Bucks are 5th in defensive efficiency. It doesn't get any easier this coming week, with the Cavs facing the Raptors, Sixers, and Pacers.
