Kemba Walker posts 36 points, near triple-double as Hornets stun Celtics
Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker scored 36 points (11-of-25 field goals, 8-of-8 free throws) with 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, 6 3-pointers, and 2 turnovers in 34.5 minutes of a 124-117 comeback win over the Boston Celtics on Saturday.
Walker caught fire for 18 points in the final frame and the Hornets closed out on a 30-5 run to complete an incredible 18-point comeback. He also finished a rebound shy of his career-high and has now scored 30-plus in back-to-back games. The Hornets play again on Sunday, versus the Raptors in Toronto.
Walker scored 66.7 FanDuel points in the win, his second-highest total of the season. numberFire's models expect him to put up 40.4 FanDuel points on Sunday, at a cost of $9,000.
