James Ennis scores season-high 16 in victory for Houston

Houston Rockets guard/forward James Ennis scored 16 points (6-of-8 field goals, 2-of-4 3-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws) with 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 2 blocks, and 1 turnover in 33.6 minutes of a 109-99 win over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.

What It Means:

The minutes and points are both season-highs for Ennis, who had totaled 1 point and averaged 20.4 minutes over the previous two contests. If Carmelo Anthony's brief Rockets tenure is indeed over, Ennis could see this sort of playing time on a regular basis. The Rockets host the Golden State Warriors on Thursday.

Ennis also set a new season-high with 30.3 FanDuel points. He's averaging 14.2 FanDuel points through 10 games overall.
