Kelly Oubre Jr. Bags 29 Points Versus Philadelphia
2 years agoCharlotte Hornets guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. had a 29-point outing against the Sixers on Sunday, shooting 11-for-23 from the field with a 3-for-8 effort from downtown in a 131-113 loss. He collected three rebounds as well with one assist, two steals and one block in 37 minutes. The 27-year-old has now scored 20-plus points in eight consecutive games. Injuries have hurt the team badly, but Oubre Jr. likely isn't complaining, as it's allowed him to play a bigger role. Through six games, he's even averaged 38.7 minutes a night this month. Oubre Jr. had only seven games in total with 20-plus points this season before starting his current scoring surge, so he's clearly playing his best basketball of the campaign right now. For the whole season, Oubre Jr. is averaging 20.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 steals.
