LaMarcus Aldridge goes for 34 points, 8 rebounds in Spurs' win

San Antonio Spurs power forward LaMarcus Aldridge finished Wednesday's 100-95 win with 34 points and 8 rebounds against the Brooklyn Nets.

What It Means:

With Kawhi Leonard (quad) ruled out indefinitely, this was the first of what will likely be several games featuring Aldridge on the offensive end. He posted a 35.9% usage rate and an offensive rating of 117 while going 13-for-24 from the field and a perfect 8-for-8 from the line in 37-plus minutes.

At a price of $8,700, Aldridge's 52.1 FanDuel points nearly returned 6x value and far exceeded his projected output of 41.5 FD points. Our models project him for 38.4 FD points in Friday's road game against the Toronto Raptors.
