Hornets' Kemba Walker produces double-double in loss to Celtics
Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker scored 20 points and handed out 11 assists in a 90-87 loss at the hands of the Boston Celtics Friday night.
Al Horford (concussion) was ruled out and Kyrie Irving (face) exited Friday's game early in the first quarter, but the Hornets still couldn't overtake the Celtics. Walker was productive in the losing effort, however, he was very inefficient. He finished the game with three turnovers and shot a lousy 5-of-19 from the floor and 0-of-6 from three.
Luckily, Walker's inefficiencies didn't do much to impact his fantasy output. His double-double effort resulted in 42.5 points and 5.52x value at his $7,700 price. He and the Hornets will take 4 days off before hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
