Julius Randle scores 11 points with 9 rebounds in Lakers' loss
Los Angeles Lakers power forward Julius Randle scored 11 points with 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 4 turnovers on 3-of-6 field goals and 5-of-7 free throws in 22.9 minutes of Thursday's 111-95 loss to the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Randle remains in a backup center role for the Lakers, even with Larry Nance (hand) sidelined. That said, he logged 20-plus minutes in back-to-back games for the first time this season, so perhaps the trend will continue against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday.
Randle is now averaging 23.6 FanDuel points (FP) per game this season. numberFire's models projected him to score 21.4 FP on Thursday, and that was incredibly accurate as he finished with 22.3.
