Ben McLemore Scores 21 Points In Victory
Ben McLemore scored 21 points on 6-for-13 shooting from the field and 4-for-11 from three-point range in Friday's 111-102 win over the Pacers. The 26-year-old played extended minutes and made the most of his time on court with a season-high in points scored as a starter. With the absence of Eric Gordon (knee) and Russell Westbrook (rest) for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, McLemore could be a decent streaming option for points and three-pointers in deep leagues.

Ben McLemore Matches Season High With 28 Points
Ben McLemore returned from health and safety protocols with a 28-point effort in Friday's blowout loss to the Lakers, shooting 6-for-14 from downtown and 9-for-22 overall from the field. He added four rebounds in 30 minutes of action off the bench. McLemore now boasts two 28-point outings in his last four appearances. He is capable of racking up points in a hurry from deep, but the playing time isn't there for him on most nights. McLemore is averaging 14 minutes for the season, logging at least 20 minutes just five times in 18 appearances.

Ben McLemore Pops Up With 28 Points In Friday's Win
Ben McLemore ended up being one of the key figures in Friday's win over the Hornets, contributing 28 points in 27 minutes off the bench with 10-for-16 shooting. He had a fun time from outside, hitting 8-for-13. McLemore also tallied two rebounds with two steals and two turnovers. He exploded after posting back-to-back pointless games, so those who had the 28-year-old in their lineups will feel like lottery winners. Jackpots don't come along very often, though, and it's unlikely that McLemore can repeat his Friday's success in the upcoming games.
