Kemba Walker scores 30 points, barely misses triple-double in Bobcats' win

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker scored 30 points with seven rebounds, eight assists, three steals and four 3-pointers during a 108-91 win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday.

What It Means:

He's having an awesome year, and he might be able to get an All-Star nod with Jimmy Butler (knee) not 100 percent. Walker should be close to a top-20 player going forward.

Walker ranks 27th with a 5.7 nERD through 51 games this season. He's putting up career-highs with 20.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.9 3-pointers per game on a 54.0 True Shooting Percentage. Walker is pitching in with 5.1 assists and 1.8 steals, as well.
