Jake Layman scores season-high 25 off Portland's bench
Portland Trail Blazers power forward Jake Layman scored a season-high 25 points (11-of-17 field goals, 1-of-1 free throws) with 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 2 3-pointers in 32.6 minutes of a 118-108 loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday.
Layman has been trending upward recently, with 14.2 points and 4.1 rebounds in 24.5 minutes over the last 10 games, including eight outings with double-digit points. However, Rodney Hood is expected to make his Trail Blazers debut on Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs after being acquired from the Cleveland Cavaliers over the weekend, so Layman may be squeezed out of some playing time moving forward.
Layman scored a season-high 40.6 FanDuel points in the loss. He's averaging 13.8 FanDuel points through 42 games overall.
