3 years agoOklahoma City Thunder power forward/center Jaylen Hoard produced an eye-popping 24-point, 21-rebound evening during Tuesday's win over Portland. Hoard had previously snagged 20 boards in his first career start Friday, but with the Thunder checking just seven players into the game, Hoard feasted on both ends of the floor. In addition to shooting 11-for-17 overall, he added three assists and three steals, delivering an out-of-nowhere elite level night of production. There is little reason to believe Hoard won't continue to see a significant role in Wednesday's contest vs. the Jazz, although fantasy managers will want to check OKC's starting five to confirm that the team is breaking out its new-look lineup again down the stretch of the 2021-22 year.--Jesse Borek
