Steady center minutes and a modest shot load can get Carter past the scoring target without repeating his hot start.
11.8 PTS · 29.3 MIN — Carter averaged 11.8 points in 29.3 minutes last season. A similar stint keeps the scoring target reachable without requiring a major increase in touches.
20 PTS · 3/4 FROM THREE — His latest game produced 20 points, including three makes on four three-point attempts. The scoring target remains reachable with a much smaller perimeter contribution if ordinary center finishes and free throws supply the rest.
Fouls while defending Towns can interrupt Carter's normal stints or push him out of the closing lineup. If Orlando channels its remaining offense through perimeter creators, his shot count can shrink before his shooting efficiency matters.
Settlement Rule: CASHES WITH WENDELL CARTER JR. SCORING AT LEAST 12 POINTS; NO PUSH AT 11.5.
