Paul Millsap scores 17 points, blocks 6 shots in busy night for Nuggets
Denver Nuggets forward/center Paul Millsap scored 17 points on 6-of-17 field goals and 5-of-5 free throws with 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 6 blocks, and 4 turnovers in 40.1 minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday.
After a rough four-game stretch in the second week of the season, Millsap has been returning to form as of late. The blocks set a new season-high and mark just the fourth time in his career he's swatted at least 6 shots in a game. Millsap and the Nuggets have a day off before hosting the Orlando Magic on Saturday.
numberFire's models projected Millsap to score 32.2 FanDuel points, and he crushed that with 52.9 points. Over the remainder of the year, we expect him to post 20.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.8 blocks, 1.0 3-pointers, and 2.6 turnovers on 47.4 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from deep.
