Goran Dragic notches 23-point triple-double in Heat victory
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic scored 23 points (9-of-17 field goals, 5-of-7 free throws) with 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 3 turnovers in 37.5 minutes of a 105-99 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.
What It Means:
It was the second triple-double of Dragic's career and it happened to come on Slovenian night against fellow countryman Luka Doncic in the first NBA matchup between the two players. He had totaled 11 points, 6 boards, and 9 dimes over the previous three games. The Heat may decide to start Dragic again on Saturday versus the New York Knicks if Justise Winslow (thigh) and Josh Richardson (heel) remain out.
Dragic finished with a season-best 56.9 FanDuel points in the win. He was averaging 9.9 FanDuel points over the previous three games.
