Julius Randle Posts Double-Double In Season-High 40 Minutes
6 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans power forward/center Julius Randle finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds during Saturday’s loss to the Houston Rockets, giving him back-to-back double-doubles. Additionally, he logged a season-high 40 minutes, which may have been out of necessity more than anything with both Nikola Mirotic and Darius Miller sidelined. Jahlil Okafor played just nine minutes off the bench, so if New Orleans continues to go at it without any legitimate big men coming off the pine, Randle should be a near DFS lock, even with his semi-high price tag. He faces the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, looking to avenge his season-low three-point performance from Nov. 14.
