Ricky Rubio makes 9-of-17 shots, scores 21 points as Jazz beat Wizards

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio scored 21 points (9-of-17 field goals, 3-of-5 3-pointers) with 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 3 turnovers in Wednesday's 107-104 win over the Washington Wizards.

What It Means:

After going 0-for-6 from the field on Sunday, Rubio was much more effective shooting the ball in this one. He's still shooting just 39.8 percent on the season but the 27-year-old point guard has topped that mark three times in the past four games and is trending up. The Jazz take on the Charlotte Hornets on Friday in their next time out.

Rubio scored 33.9 FanDuel points on Wednesday, compared to his average of 25.8 FanDuel points per game this season.
