Scores game-high 23 points Sallis notched 23 points (7-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 81-71 victory over Syracuse.

Impact Sallis had an excellent performance Tuesday and led the Demon Deacons in scoring, although he was far from posting an efficient shooting line.

Fills stat sheet Tuesday Sallis registered 27 points (12-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 75-58 victory over James Madison.

Impact Sallis got the start at point guard since Cameron Hildreth was moved to the bench, and he responded by posting an excellent stat line. Regardless of whether he's deployed at the one or the two, Sallis should be an excellent fantasy option across all formats due to his ability to impact the game in different ways.

Impact Sallis has scored in double digits in his first two outings of the 2024-25 season, and he should be one of Wake Forest's most reliable offensive weapons on a game-to-game basis. His efficiency is not really there, though, as Sallis is shooting just 35 percent from the field in his first two appearances.

Scores 22 points against Clemson Sallis closed with 22 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 81-76 win over Clemson.

Impact Sallis finished the regular season with a strong performance, finishing just three rebounds shy of a double-double and filling the stat sheet admirably. He'll head into the ACC Tournament knowing he's scored 20 or more points in three of his last five outings, so he should be one of Wake Forest's main offensive weapons.

Goes for 29 points in win over Duke Sallis notched 29 points (11-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 39 minutes during Saturday's 83-79 victory over Duke.

Impact Sallis was unable to reach his best scoring mark of the campaign when he scored 33 points in an 83-79 win over NC State on Feb. 10, but still, this was one of his best outings of the campaign. Sallis has been excellent in recent weeks and is averaging 21.0 points per game since the start of February.

Big effort in signature win Sallis recorded 29 points (11-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 83-79 win over Duke.

Impact Of course, what should be making headlines is the fact Wake Forest picked up a signature victory that potentially puts the Demon Deacons on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble, but the crowd's post-game court storm that injured Duke's Kyle Filipowski ended up stealing the show. Still, Sallis has been a key piece of Wake Forest's improvement this season, leading the team in scoring at 18.7 ppg and reaching double figures in each game this year. He'll look to keep the momentum going in a favorable matchup at Notre Dame on Tuesday.
