Kyle Kuzma scores 16, pulls down 9 boards in Lakers' victory
Los Angeles Lakers power forward Kyle Kuzma scored 16 points (6-of-15 field goals, 2-of-2 free throws) with 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, and 2 3-pointers in 23.9 minutes of Thursday's 106-81 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Kuzma should benefit from Larry Nance's departure to the Cleveland Cavaliers and this was the first time since January 5 that he recorded multiple blocks in a game. The Lakers draw a plus matchup on the road versus the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday.
Kuzma scored 38.8 FanDuel points on Thursday, compared to his average of 26.7 FanDuel points per game for the season.
