Thaddeus Young steps up for Pacers with 23 points, 15 boards, 2 steals, 2 swats
Indiana Pacers forward Thaddeus Young scored 23 points (10-of-19 field goals, 1-of-1 free throws) with 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 2 3-pointers, and 1 turnover in 33.0 minutes of a 110-106 win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Young had totaled 15 points and 12 rebounds over the previous two games before this eruption. He will likely see an expanded role moving forward to make up for the loss of Victor Oladipo, who was stretchered off with what is believed to be a season-ending knee injury. The Pacers visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
Young finished with 56.5 FanDuel points in the win. He's averaging 27.8 FanDuel points through 47 games this season.
