Simple approach. KAT averages 22.1 per game. Ant averages 26.4. Monte is 5.3. We are missing 44 PPG rounded. They are missing 28 for DM, 15.6 from Mobely, and 12.2 from Strauss. They are missing 55.8. The initial math supports your position.
However, if you assume Allen and Rudy are a wash on offense, they still have Garland, and we have no offensive equivalent. Mike will get a tough physical matchup (which usually shuts him down.) We would need Naz and Jaden to over perform their averages which is a tough ask without Ant or Karl’s gravity, and on the back end of a back to back. If Finch was a better coach maybe, but his offense and game management has been a problem this year.
I'm not saying we're going to win without Ant. I'm saying we have a decent shot at winning without Ant, but we will be a slight underdog on the road. You're acting like it's a guaranteed loss if Ant doesn't play.
I am saying after a game like yesterdays where emotions are running high, minutes are high, you blow the lead and get the one possession win, the next game is usually a loss when it’s a road back to back.
Honestly, knowing Finch, he will play everyone and say no days off. Whether that works out or not is impossible to predict.
