Gordon Hayward Scores Season-High 31 Points In Loss
3 years agoCharlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward poured in a season-high 31 points during a 110-106 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. The Butler product shot 10-for-18 from the field, including 2-for-5 behind the arc, and 9-for-10 from the line. The 31-year-old also posted five boards, seven assists, a block, and a steal across 41 minutes. Hayward has assumed playmaking and alpha responsibilities with guards LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier in the league's health and safety protocols, boosting his value over the past week. On the season, Hayward is averaging over 17.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.7 triples per game on 44.6% shooting from the field. His value will take a small dip when the pair returns but should enjoy an uptick in usage in the meantime.
