RIGHT NOW · LAST 5 GAMES
Yamamoto's production has dipped recently, with fewer points per minute despite a slightly higher shooting percentage. This suggests a temporary lull, not a dramatic fall, but his scoring touch needs to re-emerge to justify a must-watch label.
FORM OVER TIME · GAME BY GAME
Heat over time.
Cooling: 72 after the game against EDM, 35 now — still hotter than 67% of forwards (average forward 27).
