Paul Millsap equals season-high 25 points, Nuggets withstand Kings
Denver Nuggets forward/center Paul Millsap scored 25 points (10-of-16 field goals, 4-of-5 free throws) with 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, and 1 3-pointer in 30.9 minutes of a 120-118 win over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.
What It Means:
The points match Millsap's season-high. He had scored 10, 0, and 9 points in the previous three contests. Millsap notched his 7th double-double of the season with the strong effort and pulled down more boards than in any game since the opener. He also recorded double-digit rebounds in back-to-back games heading into the All-Star break, the first time the veteran's done so since late November. The Nuggets' next game is on February 22 in Dallas versus the Mavericks.
Millsap scored 53.3 FanDuel points in the win, his second-highest total of the season. He's averaging 28.0 FanDuel points through 46 games overall.
