Christian Wood scores career-high 29 points in Pistons' loss
Detroit Pistons forward/center Christian Wood scored 29 points (12-of-16 field goals, 5-of-6 3-pointers) with 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block, and 6 turnovers in 39.0 minutes of a 114-107 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Wood set career-bests in points and 3-pointers, though he also matched his personal-high in turnovers. Wood has stepped up his play since the All-Star break, with 22.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals, 1.2 blocks, and 1.7 3-pointers through six games. The Pistons will host the Utah Jazz on Saturday in the front leg of a back-to-back set. Wood is dealing with some minor ailments, so the Pistons may consider holding him out for one of those games.
Wood scored 41.3 FanDuel points on Wednesday. numberFire's models project him for 14.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals, and 1.7 blocks per game over the rest of the season.
