Al-Farouq Aminu knocks down 6 three-pointers in Blazers' Tuesday loss
Portland Trail Blazers forward Al-Farouq Aminu caught fire in the first quarter of Tuesday's game and stayed hot, finishing with 22 points on 7-for-11 shooting, to go with 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and a season-high 6 three-pointers in a 115-111 loss to the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Aminu has found his rhythm from downtown over his last three games, hitting 12-for-21 (57.1%) from distance during that stretch. Aminu is a notoriously streaky offensive player, but when teams leave him open from downtown, nights like Tuesday can happen.
Our early models for Friday project Aminu for 22.9 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,800.
