Ricky Rubio scores season-high 30 in Utah's overtime win
Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio scored 30 points with three three-pointers, five rebounds, two steals and one assists in Wednesday's 112-103 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
For Rubio, this was just the second time in his career that he's scored 30 or more points. It took extra time, but he displayed his improved shooting as he finished the game 8-of-17 from the floor, 3-of-6 from three and a perfect 11-for-11 from the line. After Wednesday, Rubio is averaging a career-high 17.5 points per game through eight games.
Rubio's 39.5 FanDuel points were spot on the 5x value we look for from a $7,900 player, and it's the second straight game in which he's managed to meet or exceed that figure. On Friday, he'll look to make it three straight against the Toronto Raptors, though we project him for just 35.5 FanDuel points in that one.
