5 years agoPhoenix Suns small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. scored a team-high 25 points in Thursday's loss to New Orleans, shooting 7-for-17 from the field and 9-for-9 at the line. He had a 2-for-4 record from downtown while adding six rebounds and four assists to his tally in 35 minutes. Oubre Jr. had a miserable one-point outing against the Lakers last Tuesday but's he's since then demonstrated very good scoring form, going for 20-plus points in three of four games. He'll be in a nice spot to continue the hot streak against Minnesota, who give up a lot of three-pointers and whose defense is mediocre at best.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
