Ricky Rubio Collects Double-Double Amid Off Shooting Night
5 years agoPhoenix Suns point guard Ricky Rubio was held to 5-for-16 shooting overall during Saturday’s loss to the Houston Rockets, but he dished out 13 assists in addition to his 10 points, giving him his second consecutive double-double. Rubio has been in a malaise from long range, shooting a combined 1-for-17 over his last four games, but that has also coincided with his immense assist totals. He added six rebounds Saturday, as the Suns are comfortable deploying him for a minutes total on a nightly basis (31.5) that he did not previously see while with Utah. He will have a golden matchup on his hands Monday against a Minnesota defense yielding the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing point guards thus far in 2019-20.
