Pelicans' Christian Wood has career outing in loss
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Christian Wood scored 23 points (7-of-9 field goals, 8-of-14 free throws) with 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals, 6 blocks, 1 3-pointer, and 2 turnovers in 31.5 minutes of a 130-120 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Wood set career-bests in points, boards, steals, blocks, made field goals, attempted triples, made free throws, and attempted free throws, as well as minutes. He is only 23 and the Pelicans have fully embraced the rebuild, so Wood should continue to see more run over the remaining stretch. New Orleans hosts the Sacramento Kings on Thursday.
Wood finished with 60.3 FanDuel points in the loss. He's averaging 8.2 FanDuel points over 15 games this season.
