Luc Mbah a Moute makes 4 threes, scores 14 points for Rockets in start

Houston Rockets forward Luc Mbah a Moute scored 14 points (5-of-9 field goals, 4-of-6 3-pointers) with 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal in 32.3 minutes of Thursday's 116-98 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

What It Means:

Mbah a Moute drew the start in place of Trevor Ariza (suspension) and actually would have played more minutes if not for the lopsided score. Ariza will also be suspended for Saturday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors, so Mbah a Moute should be in line for another start.

Mbah a Moute scored 34.6 FanDuel points on Thursday, compared to his average of 18.0 FanDuel points per game for the season.
