Evan Fournier scores 23 points, adds 5 steals as Magic defeat Knicks
Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier scored 23 points on 9-of-16 field goals and 2-of-4 free throws with 3 3-pointers, 2 rebounds, 5 assist, 5 steals, 1 block, and 4 turnovers in 34 minutes of Wednesday's 112-99 victory over the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Fournier bounced back from a 2-for-14 outing on Sunday with a strong shooting effort tonight, bringing his field goal percentage to 51.2 for the year. Fournier also failed to record a steal in the last game, but he more than made up for it tonight by matching his career-high. The Magic travel to Phoenix to take on the Suns on Friday.
numberFire's models projected Fournier to score 27.8 FanDuel points on Wednesday, but he outperformed that with a game-high 46.9-point performance.
