De'Anthony Melton dishes career-high 10 assists in Suns' win
Phoenix Suns rookie point guard De'Anthony Melton scored 2 points (0-of-7 field goals, 2-of-2 free throws) with 3 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, and 2 turnovers in 32.4 minutes of a 102-93 win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.
What It Means:
The assists are a new career-high and Melton matched his personal-best in steals for the second time in the past three games. A 37.3 field goal percentage leaves a bit to be desired, but the second-round pick has proven capable of contributing in multiple areas, with 2.3 steals and 1.2 blocks over the past six games. The Suns visit the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday.
Melton scored 33.6 FanDuel points in the victory. He's averaging 19.1 FanDuel points through 27 games this season.
