Mike James solid in first career start for Suns

Phoenix Suns point guard Mike James scored 18 points (8-for-10) with 7 assists, and 2 rebounds over 26 minutes against the Sacramento Kings on Monday.

What It Means:

James' first start came right after his head coach was fired and Eric Bledsoe was sent home, but even under those circumstances, James was great, and the Suns got the win. He should continue to see more minutes for the rebuilding Suns if Bledsoe gets traded.

James is now producing averages of 13.3 points, 3.8 assists, and 1.8 rebounds over 21.0 minutes per game in 2017-18. He is also averaging 22.3 FanDuel points per game.
