Julius Randle scores 18 to open Lakers' season
Los Angeles Lakers power forward Julius Randle racked up 18 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists as the Lakers topped the Houston Rockets 120-114 to open their season on Wednesday.
Those six assists match his second-best mark from from last season, and if he continues to show the ability to contribute in three stat categories, he will be a valuable fantasy option this year.
Our models project Randle for 11.8 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 27.5 minutes per game over the remainder of the season.
