P.J. Tucker double-doubles with 4 steals, 2 blocks, 4 treys as Rockets defeat Warriors
Houston Rockets guard/forward P.J. Tucker scored 18 points (5-of-11 field goals, 4-of-4 free throws) with 10 rebounds, 4 steals, 2 blocks, and 4 3-pointers in 36.8 minutes of a 118-112 win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
What It Means:
Tucker turned in one of his best games of the season while helping make up for the absence of James Harden (neck, illness). It was his third double-double of the season and first game with double-digit points since January 25. Despite the lackluster scoring, he's averaging 6.9 boards, 2.4 swipes, 0.7 blocks, and 1.2 triples over the last 10 contests. The Rockets host the Atlanta Hawks on Monday.
Tucker posted a season-best 48.0 FanDuel points in the victory. He's averaging 22.6 FanDuel points through 59 games overall.
