* x for y PTS: Number of shots contested (hand and arm method, blocks, steals, offensive fouls, common turnovers) and total points prevented
* x POSS: Number of possessions prevented by steals, offensive fouls, offensive rebounds, shot clock violations, and other kinds of turnovers
* x AST: Number of passes prevented by steals, offensive fouls, and other common turnovers
* x HELP: Number of possessions where teammate helped another on a successful defensive assignment
If Tucker has games like this at this point in time, it might be because Tucker's value goes up when nearing playoff time. He's what you'd call a late bloomer, or playoff bloomer.
