5 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson put up a career-high 31 points in just 28 minutes of a blowout 138-117 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Williamson feasted in the paint with his usual assortment of slam dunks and completed his stat line with nine boards, five assists along with one steal. The former Duke star has been as advertised in nine career games and has scored 20-plus in five straight contests. Perhaps the best news for his fantasy owners is the fact that his minutes have increased to 29.5 after seeing 25 minutes per game in five January games. On a Pelicans team with an outside shot at the playoffs, Williamson should see more and more playing time moving forward.--Tim Capurso
