Kevin Huerter Pours In Season-High 24 Points
4 years agoAtlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter took advantage of his opportunity with Trae Young (knee) out of the lineup Friday. Huerter entered the starting five and scored a season-high 24 points on 10 of 15 shooting from the field, adding three assists and a rebound in 34 minutes. This was a welcome sight for the 22-year-old, as he was in the midst of a shooting slump, registering a 29.2 shooting percentage on field goal attempts over his last eight games. Young may return to action for Sunday's game against the Warriors, which would take a chunk out of Huerter's usage. It may be best for DFS investors to see how Huerter performs with Young back in healthy before opting to play him.
